B. Braun Contiplex Stim Set (10/Case)

The B. Braun Contiplex Stim Set is a comprehensive medical kit designed to enhance efficiency and safety during stimulating catheter placement procedures. Each individual, sterile set includes the following specialized components:

• Contiplex Tuohy Needle: An insulated 18 Ga needle featuring a fully coated stimulation surface, Tuohy bevel, and a pinpoint electrode engineered to facilitate a strong motor response. It includes graduations for precise depth measurement.
• Stimulating Catheter: A 20 Ga polyamide catheter (55 cm long) with an integrated wire. It features a flat wire coil for superior echogenicity and has a closed tip with three lateral holes. The 55 cm length aids in easier handling.
• Sideport Valve Assembly: Includes extension tubing, streamlining fluid injection and accurate catheter positioning.
• 0.2 µm Procedural Filter
• Catheter Connector
• Nerve Block Catheter Adhesive Labels

Each case contains 10 of these complete, sterile sets. While the set is not made with natural rubber latex, some components do contain PVC.

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Stim Set is a complete, sterile assembly that includes a **0.2

µm procedural filter**.

This filter is provided along with the other necessary components for streamlined stimulating catheter placement, including:

• Contiplex Tuohy needle
• 20 Ga polyamide stimulating catheter
• Sideport valve assembly with extension tubing
• Catheter connector

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Stim Set is specifically engineered to enhance precision, safety, and efficiency during stimulating catheter placement. It reduces procedural steps and provides superior feedback and visualization.

Key features that contribute to superior accuracy include:

• Enhanced Visualization: The 20 Ga polyamide stimulating catheter features an integrated flat wire coil design, which significantly improves echogenicity for clear visualization under ultrasound guidance.
• Accurate Nerve Location: The fully coated Contiplex Tuohy needle incorporates a pinpoint electrode and Tuohy bevel, facilitating a more pronounced motor response at closer nerve-to-needle distances for reliable nerve localization.
• Depth Control: Graduations on the Contiplex Tuohy needle provide clear monitoring of insertion depth.
• Optimized Delivery: The 55 cm catheter has a closed tip with three lateral holes for precise fluid delivery, ensuring the integrated coil is not exposed at the distal end.

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Stim Set is available in two configurations, defined by the length of the specialized stimulating needle.Both sets utilize the 18 Ga Insulated Contiplex Tuohy Needle and the 55 cm, 20 Ga polyamide stimulating catheter.The available needle lengths are:* 2 inches (18 Ga x 2 in)* 4 inches (18 Ga x 4 in)Regardless of the length chosen, both configurations feature a fully coated stimulation needle designed for enhanced motor response and a catheter with an integrated flat wire coil for superior echogenicity.

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Stim Set is designed with patient safety in mind. The components do not contain natural rubber latex.

The B. Braun Contiplex Stim Set has a total shelf life of 36 months.

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Stim Set includes a highly specialized Contiplex Tuohy needle featuring a pinpoint electrode.

This design is crucial for precise nerve localization and efficiency:

• Enhanced Motor Response: The pinpoint electrode works in conjunction with the Tuohy bevel and full coating to facilitate a more pronounced motor response, even when the needle is very close to the nerve.
• Depth Monitoring: The needle shaft features clear visible graduations to help clinicians accurately monitor needle depth during placement.
• Optimized Design: The needle is fully coated to maximize its stimulating effectiveness during the procedure.

The stimulating catheter included in the B. Braun Contiplex Stim Set is 55 cm long. This specific length is designed to facilitate easier handling and improved maneuverability within the sterile field during placement procedures.

The B. Braun Contiplex Stim Set is available in two configurations, defined by the length of the included insulated Contiplex Tuohy needle:

• 18 Ga x 2 in Insulated Tuohy Needle and Stimulating Catheter
• 18 Ga x 4 in Insulated Tuohy Needle and Stimulating Catheter

Both sets include the same high-performance stimulating catheter, designed for safety and procedural efficiency:

• Catheter Specs: 20 Ga polyamide with integrated wire, measuring 55 cm in length.
• Echogenicity: Features a flat wire coil for superior echogenicity during placement.
• Tip Design: Closed tip with three lateral holes, ensuring no exposed coil at the distal end.

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Stim Set is explicitly designed to significantly enhance procedural efficiency and safety during stimulating catheter placement. The design integrates several features that streamline the workflow:

• Reduced Procedural Steps: The specialized system helps minimize the overall number of steps required for stimulating catheter insertion.
• Enhanced Motor Response: The fully coated Contiplex Tuohy needle, featuring a pinpoint electrode, is designed to facilitate a more pronounced motor response, even at closer nerve-to-needle distances.
• Superior Echogenicity: The 55 cm stimulating catheter includes an integrated wire with a flat wire coil design, which allows for improved visualization under ultrasound guidance.
• Optimized Injection/Positioning: The sideport valve assembly utilizes a technique that simplifies both the anesthetic injection process and subsequent catheter positioning.
