B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Set (12/Case)

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Set is specifically designed to maximize procedural efficiency and reduce the number of steps required for placement.

Key features that simplify the procedure include:

• Sideport Valve Technique: This unique technique facilitates easier injection of medication.
• Enhanced Catheter Maneuvers: The sideport valve and extension tubing allow for smoother and simpler catheter positioning maneuvers, aiding clinicians in accurate placement for Continuous Peripheral Nerve Blocks (CPNB).

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Set catheter is specifically designed to facilitate accurate depth identification and support deeper peripheral nerve blocks during Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) procedures.

Key features that enhance visualization and precision include:

• Material and Marking: The 100 cm (39 inches) catheter is made of transparent polyamide nylon and features a distinctive blue graduation pattern along its length. This design allows clinicians to easily and accurately identify the insertion depth.
• Optimal Coverage: The length of 100 cm ensures the catheter can effectively reach and cover deeper nerve structures.
• Anesthetic Distribution: The catheter utilizes a closed tip design supplemented by three lateral eyes to ensure optimal and uniform distribution of the local anesthetic.

The B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Set is specifically engineered for use with B. Braun nerve stimulators during Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) procedures. The system is compatible with the following models:

• HNS 11/12
• Stimuplex DIG Nerve stimulators

This compatibility allows users to fully leverage the set’s insulated stimulation needle, which features a Tuohy bevel and pinpoint electrode. This design facilitates accurate nerve localization by eliciting pronounced motor responses, streamlining the catheter placement process.

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Set is manufactured to exclude several common materials of concern, prioritizing patient safety.

The components are certified as:

• BPA-free (Bisphenol A)
• DEHP-free (Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate)
• Free of natural rubber (latex)

For complete transparency, please note that the components do contain PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride).

Each case of the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Set contains 12 units.

The B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Set is specifically engineered with several advanced features to optimize accuracy and efficiency during Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) catheter placement, which is designed for up to 72 hours of use.

Key features that ensure precise placement include:

• Enhanced Nerve Targeting: The set features a fully coated stimulation needle with a Tuohy bevel and a pinpoint electrode. This design facilitates more pronounced motor responses at shorter nerve-to-needle distances, which is crucial for highly accurate nerve localization.
• Accurate Depth Identification: Both the needle and the transparent polyamide catheter are marked with clear depth graduations. The catheter also displays a distinctive blue graduation pattern to help clinicians easily identify and track the exact insertion depth, especially when utilizing the extended 100 cm catheter length for deeper blocks.
• Simplified Positioning: The integrated sideport valve assembly allows for the sideport valve technique, which simplifies injection procedures and facilitates stable, precise catheter positioning.

Yes, the catheter included in the Contiplex Tuohy Set is made from high-quality, durable polyamide nylon.

This specialized 20 Ga catheter is designed for precision during Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) procedures:

• Extended Length: It measures 100 cm (39 inches), providing extended coverage necessary for deeper nerve blocks.
• Tip Structure: It features a closed tip with three lateral eyes to ensure reliable and optimized anesthetic distribution.
• Precise Depth Indication: The transparent material is marked with a highly visible blue graduation pattern, which facilitates clear and precise identification of the insertion depth.

The B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Set offers two distinct configurations based on the size of the fully coated stimulation needle:

• 18 Ga x 4 in Insulated Needle
• 18 Ga x 6 in Insulated Needle

These options provide the necessary flexibility for Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) procedures, allowing you to select the optimal needle length required for precise placement and effective depth coverage. Both needles feature a Tuohy bevel, a pinpoint electrode, and depth graduations for accurate identification during insertion.

The B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Set is designed for a sustained duration of use up to 72 hours. This duration supports its function as a Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) catheter system for extended pain management.

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Set is a complete, sterile system engineered for Continuous Peripheral Nerve Blocks (CPNB), approved for a maximum duration of 72 hours of continuous use. The comprehensive design aims to reduce procedural steps and simplify catheter placement.

The set includes all key components necessary for the procedure:

• Contiplex Tuohy Needle: This is a fully coated stimulation needle featuring a Tuohy bevel and a pinpoint electrode, designed to elicit a more pronounced motor response.
• Optimized Catheter: A 20 Ga x 39 in (100 cm) transparent polyamide catheter with a closed tip and three lateral eyes. Its blue graduation pattern allows for accurate identification of insertion depth, supporting deeper nerve blocks.
• Sideport Valve Assembly: This assembly simplifies the injection process and assists with precise catheter positioning.
• Accessories: Includes a catheter connector and a threading assist guide.

The components are supplied sterile (EO sterilized) and are manufactured without BPA, DEHP, or natural rubber latex.
