Description

The B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Set (12/Case) is an echogenic needle with non-stimulating PNB catheter set that includes a Contiplex Tuohy ultra 360 needle, sideport valve assembly with extension tubing, 20 Ga x 39 in (100 cm) polyamide nylon closed tip catheter, catheter connector, and a threading assist guide.

Warranty: Not Available.

Specially designed for use with HNS 11/12 Nerve stimulators, the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Set takes full advantage of the Contiplex Tuohy ultra needle and the Perifix catheter. The needle is fully coated for stimulation and provides improved ultrasound visibility at steeper angles and graduations that show needle depth and the catheter measures 100 cm to cover deeper blocks and features a closed tip with three lateral eyes. The complete set helps reduce procedural steps during catheter placement and is the most frequently used CPNB catheter system in the United States.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Set compatible with specific nerve stimulators?

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Set is specifically designed for use with HNS 11/12 Nerve stimulators to ensure optimal performance and functionality during procedures.

Is high-quality material used for the catheter?

Yes, the non-stimulating PNB catheter included in this set is constructed from high-quality, transparent polyamide nylon.

This material and specialized design ensure reliability during Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) procedures. Key features of the catheter include:

  • Length: Measures 100 cm (39 inches), accommodating procedures that require reaching deeper anatomical regions.
  • Design: Features a closed tip with three lateral eyes for optimal anesthetic delivery.
  • Depth Identification: A visible blue graduation pattern is included along the transparent catheter’s length, allowing for accurate confirmation of insertion depth.
What needle lengths are available?

The B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Set is available in configurations featuring three distinct lengths for the high-quality 18 Ga insulated, echogenic needle. These options are designed to provide versatility for continuous peripheral nerve block (CPNB) procedures at varying anatomical depths.

The available needle lengths are:

  • 2 inches
  • 4 inches
  • 6 inches

All needles feature a Contiplex Tuohy bevel, are fully coated for stimulation, and include clear graduations for precise depth measurement.

Does the Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Set contain latex?

No, the components of the Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Set do not contain natural rubber latex.

Does this set include an extended-reach catheter?

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Set includes a 100 cm (39 inch) polyamide nylon closed tip catheter. This extended length is specifically designed to cover deeper blocks, enhancing the versatility of the set.

Which key components streamline the CPNB procedure?

The B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Set includes several specialized components designed to simplify and enhance Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) procedures:

  • Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Needle: This is an insulated, echogenic needle that is fully coated for stimulation compatibility. Its design ensures enhanced ultrasound visibility, even when inserted at steeper angles, aiding in accurate placement.
  • Polyamide Nylon Catheter (20 Ga x 39 in / 100 cm): This 100 cm catheter is transparent with a blue graduation pattern, allowing for visual confirmation of insertion depth. The extended length provides coverage for deeper nerve blocks, and it features a closed tip with three lateral eyes for optimal anesthetic distribution.
  • Sideport Valve Assembly with Extension Tubing: This essential component facilitates the sideport valve technique, which simplifies injection and allows for precise catheter positioning during the procedure.

The complete sterile set also includes a catheter connector, a threading assist guide, and “CAUTION: NERVE BLOCK CATHETER” labels.

Does the catheter's blue graduation pattern ensure accurate depth identification?

Yes, the transparent polyamide nylon catheter features a blue graduation pattern specifically designed for easy insertion depth identification during procedures. This helps medical professionals accurately track the catheter’s placement.

Is the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Set sterile?

Yes, each B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Set is sterile.

Does the sideport valve simplify catheter placement?

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Set features a sideport valve technique specifically designed to streamline the procedure and reduce complexity during catheter placement.

Key benefits of this valve system include:

  • Facilitating easier injection of solutions.
  • Assisting with precise catheter positioning.
  • Engineering the overall process to reduce the number of procedural steps required for successful placement.
What are the precise needle and catheter gauges?

The B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Set utilizes precisely specified gauges for both main components:

  • Needle Gauge: The insulated, echogenic Contiplex Tuohy ultra needle is 18 Ga. This fully coated needle enhances ultrasound visibility and is designed for use with electrical nerve stimulators.
  • Catheter Gauge: The non-stimulating PNB catheter is 20 Ga. This polyamide nylon catheter is 39 inches (100 cm) long, featuring a closed tip with three lateral eyes, ideal for extended coverage of deeper nerve blocks. Its transparent body includes a blue graduation pattern for easy depth confirmation.
