B. Braun Perifix FX Springwound Epidural Anesthesia Catheter (25/Case)

The Perifix FX Epidural Catheter achieves its exceptional balance of stability and flexibility using an innovative Springwound Core technology:

• Inner Construction: The catheter incorporates an inner spring encased within a specialized formulation of polyamide nylon. This design maintains structural integrity without sacrificing the necessary softness.
• Durability and Handling: This core structure provides superior stability, making the catheter highly kink and stretch resistant. This ensures a consistent, reproducible feel for the clinician, allowing for extremely easy and accurate threading, advancement, and removal.
• Safety and Performance: By maintaining excellent structural stability, the design minimizes risks such as vessel puncture, intrathecal placement, and paresthesia, ultimately facilitating optimal drug spread.

Yes, the B. Braun Perifix FX Springwound Catheter is specifically engineered to achieve optimal drug spread for consistent and effective epidural anesthesia, which is vital for procedures like labor and delivery.

This high performance is due to its unique construction features:

• Stable Delivery: The innovative Springwound Core—an inner spring embedded in special polyamide nylon—provides an ideal balance of flexibility and structural stability, ensuring consistent flow dynamics.
• Kink and Stretch Resistant: The design is highly resistant to kinking and stretching, which helps maintain the catheter’s internal lumen integrity during insertion and use, crucial for reliable drug dispersion.
• Precision Placement: Its ease of advancement and removal supports accurate and reproducible placement by the clinician, directly optimizing medication distribution.
