Frequently asked questions
Does the kit streamline nerve block catheter placement?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Tray Kit is specifically designed to maximize procedural efficiency and streamline Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) catheter placement.
This efficiency is achieved through the system’s innovative components:
- Integrated Placement: A non-stimulating catheter is placed directly through the stimulating Tuohy needle, significantly reducing the total number of procedural steps required.
- Enhanced Stimulation: The fully coated stimulating needle features a Tuohy bevel and pinpoint electrode, engineered to produce a more pronounced motor response at closer nerve-to-needle distances.
- Intuitive Positioning: The innovative sideport valve technique facilitates easier injection and aids in precise catheter positioning.
Does the kit include all essential components?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Tray Kit is a comprehensive, sterile system designed to include all essential components needed to perform Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) catheter placement, ensuring procedural efficiency.
Key CPNB System Components:
- Stimulating Tuohy Needle: Fully coated, featuring a Tuohy bevel and pin point electrode. This design maximizes the motor response at closer nerve-to-needle distances and includes visible depth graduations.
- Non-Stimulating Catheter: Used for continuous nerve blocking, inserted through the stimulating needle.
- Innovative Sideport Valve: This unique feature assists in easier injection and precise catheter positioning.
Procedural and Ancillary Components:
- Ultrasound Supplies: Includes an ultrasound transducer cover and gel.
- Medication and Prep Items: The tray includes a vial of Lidocaine HCl 1% (10 mg/mL), syringes, tubing, caps, smaller gauge needles, and various prep items.
What features does the stimulating needle offer?
The stimulating Tuohy needle is designed to enhance nerve localization and procedural efficiency during Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB).%0A%0AKey features include:%0A%0A* Enhanced Response: The needle is fully coated and features a Tuohy bevel and pin point electrode. This configuration is engineered to produce a more pronounced motor response, even at close nerve-to-needle distances.%0A* Procedural Efficiency: It allows for catheter placement directly through the needle, streamlining the procedure and reducing the number of steps required.%0A* Depth Measurement: The needle shaft includes clear graduations to accurately measure the depth of insertion.%0A* Compatibility: This stimulating needle is intended for use with B. Braun’s HNS 11/12 and Stimuplex DIG Nerve stimulators.
Is this kit compatible with specific nerve stimulators?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Tray Kit is specifically designed for use with two key B. Braun nerve stimulators to ensure precise Peripheral Nerve Block (PNB) procedures: * HNS 11/12 Nerve Stimulators * Stimuplex DIG Nerve Stimulators This integration is crucial for utilizing the fully coated stimulating Tuohy needle, which helps produce a pronounced motor response for accurate nerve location during catheter placement.
What precise needle lengths are available?
The Contiplex Tuohy Tray Kit is available in two specific sizes for the insulated stimulating needle:
- 18 Ga x 2 in (Needle length)
- 18 Ga x 4 in (Needle length)
Both configurations include the non-stimulating catheter system, ultrasound transducer cover, and gel.
Does the Contiplex Tuohy Tray Kit contain latex?
No, the components of the Contiplex Tuohy Tray Kit do not contain natural rubber latex.
Does the kit contain BPA, DEHP, or PVC?
Yes, components within the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Tray Kit contain certain materials that require disclosure, including BPA, DEHP, and PVC.
It is important to note that the components of the kit are free of natural rubber latex.
Does the needle design enhance motor response?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy needle is specifically designed to produce a more pronounced motor response at closer nerve-to-needle distances, which helps enhance precision during continuous peripheral nerve block (CPNB) procedures.
Does the kit efficiently simplify catheter placement?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Tray Kit is designed to streamline continuous peripheral nerve block (CPNB) procedures. It simplifies catheter placement by utilizing a stimulating Tuohy needle with a non-stimulating catheter, thereby reducing the number of procedural steps required.
Does the sideport valve make catheter positioning easier?
Yes, the kit features an innovative sideport valve technique that allows for easier injection and more precise catheter positioning, enhancing procedural control for practitioners.
