Frequently asked questions
Does this set increase procedural efficiency?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex S Straight Set is uniquely engineered to enhance procedural efficiency by reducing the total number of steps required during peripheral nerve block catheter placement. This streamlined process is achieved through several integrated features:
- Enhanced Location: It utilizes a fully coated stimulating needle combined with a non-stimulating catheter. The needle’s Tuohy bevel and pinpoint electrode facilitate a more pronounced motor response, supporting faster and more accurate nerve location at close range.
- Simplified Positioning: The patented sideport with a valve and extension tubing allows for easier pre-loading of the catheter, simplifying the injection and final positioning steps.
- Intuitive Depth Identification: The 100 cm transparent polyamide catheter features a blue graduation pattern, and the needle includes depth markings, ensuring accurate visualization and monitoring of insertion depth.
What nerve stimulators are compatible with this set?
The B. Braun Contiplex S Straight Set is compatible with HNS 11/12 and Stimuplex DIG Nerve stimulators.
For how long can the catheter remain in place?
The catheter is intended for a duration of use of up to 72 hours.
Is the Contiplex S Straight Set free of BPA and DEHP?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex S Straight Set prioritizes patient safety by ensuring certain materials are excluded. It is free from several potentially concerning components:
- The components do not contain BPA (Bisphenol A).
- The components do not contain DEHP (Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate).
- The set does not contain natural rubber, meaning it is latex-free.
However, please note that the material composition of the set does include PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride).
Is the B. Braun Contiplex S Straight Set sterile?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex S Straight Set is sterile.
Does the catheter use durable polyamide nylon?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex S Straight Set includes a 20 Ga catheter made from transparent polyamide nylon. This material provides the necessary flexibility and durability for continuous peripheral nerve block procedures.
Key specifications and features of the catheter include:
- Length: It measures 100 cm (39 in), accommodating deeper nerve block access.
- Tip Design: It features a closed tip with three lateral eyes for effective anesthetic dispersion.
- Visualization: A precise blue graduation pattern allows for accurate insertion depth identification.
- Maximum Duration of Use: The system is specified for use for up to 72 hours.
- Material Safety: The components are free of BPA, DEHP, and natural rubber latex, but do contain PVC.
What key components make up the Contiplex S Straight Set?
The B. Braun Contiplex S Straight Set is a comprehensive, sterile assembly designed for continuous peripheral nerve block (PNB) procedures, streamlining the catheter placement process.
The key components included in each set are:
- Contiplex Stimulating Needle (18 Ga x 4 in): This is a straight, fully coated, insulated needle featuring a 20° Tuohy bevel and a pin-point electrode. It is designed for enhanced stimulation response and includes depth graduations for precise placement confirmation.
- Polyamide Nylon Catheter (20 Ga x 39 in/100 cm): This non-stimulating catheter features a closed tip with three lateral eyes. It is transparent with blue graduation markings to confirm insertion depth and is approved for continuous use up to 72 hours.
- Patented Sideport Valve Assembly: A crucial component that includes extension tubing and a valve. This unique design allows for simplified pre-loading, injection, and efficient catheter positioning without needing to disconnect from the main line.
The set also includes a catheter connector, a threading assist guide, and four “CAUTION: NERVE BLOCK CATHETER” safety labels.
What is the total shelf life?
The B. Braun Contiplex S Straight Set has a total shelf life of 36 months from the date of manufacture.
Does the stimulating needle maximize motor response?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex S Straight Set is specifically engineered to enhance nerve localization by facilitating a more pronounced motor response.
The stimulating needle features an optimized design that includes:
- A fully coated stimulation needle for efficient current delivery.
- A Tuohy bevel with a pin point electrode.
This design allows for a more pronounced motor response even at closer nerve-to-needle distances, which is critical for accurate peripheral nerve block procedures.
Does this set offer features for nerve localization?
Yes, the Contiplex S Straight Set is designed for precise nerve localization:
- Stimulating Needle: Fully coated with a 20° Tuohy bevel and pinpoint electrode for a pronounced motor response, even at close range.
- Depth Markings: Graduations on both the needle and the 100 cm catheter allow for accurate insertion depth identification. The catheter also features a blue graduation pattern.
- Stimulator Compatibility: Designed for use with HNS 11/12 and Stimuplex DIG Nerve stimulators for reliable electrical guidance.
