Frequently asked questions
Does the stimulation needle ensure optimized motor response?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Ultra 360 stimulation needle is specifically engineered to deliver an enhanced and pronounced motor response during peripheral nerve block procedures. This design maximizes the opportunity to achieve a clear response closer to the nerve target, ensuring procedural precision.
This optimized performance is achieved through key features of the stimulation needle:
- Pin Point Electrode: Critical for generating a more distinct motor response, even at minimal nerve-to-needle distances.
- Tuohy Bevel: Facilitates accurate steering and handling during placement.
- Fully Coated: Ensures effective and targeted electrical stimulation.
Which specialized catheter is included in the kit?
The B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Tray Kit includes a 20 Ga Contiplex polyamide closed-tip catheter, designed specifically for continuous peripheral nerve blocks.
Key features related to the catheter system are:
- Material and Gauge: It is a 20-gauge catheter constructed from durable polyamide.
- Tip Design: Features a closed tip, optimized for reliable and precise placement.
- Innovative Placement: The system utilizes an innovative sideport valve technique to facilitate easier injection and accurate catheter positioning.
- Safety: The catheter, along with all other components in the tray, does not contain natural rubber.
Is the Contiplex Ultra 360 kit sterile?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Tray Kit is supplied sterile and ready for use in peripheral nerve block procedures.
Key safety and quality specifications:
- Sterility: All components in the kit are sterile.
- Safety: The kit is safe for use as the components do not contain natural rubber (latex-free).
- Shelf Life: It has a total shelf life of 24 months.
- Packaging: The product is sold in cases containing 10 individual kits.
What is the kit's shelf life?
The B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Tray Kit has a total shelf life of 24 months.
Is the Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Tray Kit free of natural rubber?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Tray Kit is specifically designed with material safety in mind. All components included in this sterile procedural kit do not contain natural rubber.
Does the kit contain multiple high-quality needle sizes?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 Tray Kit is a comprehensive procedural kit that includes a specialized procedural needle and several auxiliary hypodermic needles, ensuring you have the necessary components for various steps of the peripheral nerve block procedure.
The kit includes the following needles:
- Primary Procedural Needle: The CONTIPLEX Ultra 360 peripheral nerve block procedural needle (18 Ga). This fully coated stimulation needle features a Tuohy bevel and pinpoint electrode for enhanced visualization and motor response. The length is configurable (either 2” or 4”) depending on the kit variant selected.
- Auxiliary Hypodermic Needles: Three different auxiliary needles are included for local anesthesia and other preparatory steps:
- 27 Gauge x 1.25”
- 25 Gauge x 1.5”
- 18 Gauge x 1.5” (supplied along with a 3 mL Plastic Luer Lock Syringe)
Does the Contiplex Ultra 360 offer superior ultrasound visibility?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Ultra 360 procedural needle is engineered to provide superior ultrasound visualization during peripheral nerve block procedures.The design is optimized for visibility, ensuring that the needle can be accurately tracked and monitored, even when inserted at challenging or steeper angles.
Does the Contiplex Ultra 360 offer superior ultrasound visibility?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Ultra 360 procedural needle is specifically engineered to provide improved ultrasound visibility.
This enhanced design is a key selling point, as it ensures clear visualization for the practitioner, even when the needle is inserted at steeper angles during peripheral nerve block procedures. This aids in achieving accurate and precise placement.
Does the innovative sideport valve simplify catheter placement?
Yes, the B. Braun kit incorporates an innovative sideport valve technique specifically designed to streamline the peripheral nerve block procedure and ensure precise outcomes.
The valve simplifies the following key steps:
- Easier Injection: It allows for simpler and more efficient administration of injectate (such as the included lidocaine).
- Precise Positioning: It facilitates the subsequent positioning and precise placement of the 20 Ga Contiplex polyamide closed-tip catheter.
Does the procedural needle show insertion depth?
Yes, the Contiplex Ultra 360 procedural needle is designed with visible graduations along its shaft. These markings are essential as they clearly indicate the insertion depth, which helps clinicians achieve accurate and precise placement during peripheral nerve block procedures.
