E-Cath/E-Cath Plus NEW PRODUCT INSIDE Nerve Blocks
The Nerve Block Catheter Challenge Is your traditional catheter system giving you headaches? LEAKAGE MISSING 3RD HAND DIFFICULT TO PLACE DISLOCATION TOO MANY STEPS E-Cath/E-Cath Plus The clear choice in Continuous Nerve Blocks (CNB) Developed together with Dr. Ban Tsui, the E-Cath/E-Cath Plus combines the best from clinical experience and engineering expertise, resulting in a system that addresses the biggest catheter problems in CNBs: complexity, catheter kinking, anesthetic leakage and catheter dislocation and migration. 1,2,3,4 The result is: easier, faster, safer and more reliable continuous nerve blocks and the reduction of workload during post-op pain management. See www.easycathusa.com for application details and product videos E-Cath E-Cath Plus MIGRATION KINKING CON Technique Catheter over Needle Technique E-Cath/E-Cath Plus can solve the problems by: Making catheter placement as easy as a single shot Reducing the chance of leakage Reducing the chance of dislocation and catheter migration Reducing the chance of catheter kinking Offering an optimized local anesthetic spread Providing optimized ultrasound visiblility of needle tip, needle shaft, and catheter Significantly reduces the chance of anesthetic leakage and catheter dislocation or migration 1,2,4 Before Needle Removal Needle Needle Lumen Indwelling Catheteter After Needle Removal Catheter Lumen Indwelling Catheteter
E-Cath The classic option Building upon the Catheter over Needle concept, the E-Cath makes the nerve block catheter placement as easy as 1, 2, 3. Patient Safety and Comfort SoftTip Technology to reduce the chance of nerve damage. Safe Flow and Kink Resistance The double layer catheter technology solves the kinking problem and guarantees a consistent anesthetic flow. This is additionally supported by the open tip & 360 degree side port. SonoPlex Needle with Indwelling Catheter E-Catheter with Indwelling Catheter SelfPriming System The E-Catheter comes with a proximal opening which allows the anesthetic to flow, besides the open tip, also between the outer wall and the indwelling catheter. This feature creates the 360 degree flow and improves the U/S-visibility of the E-Catheter. SelfPriming System The needle has a distal opening that allows for the anesthetic to flow additionally between the outer needle wall and the indwelling catheter. This helps improving the U/S-visibility during needle placement. Integrated Injection Tubing Reduction of procedural steps: catheter adapter is pre-assembled to the catheter system. Cornerstone Reflectors The patented 360 degree Cornerstone Reflectors known from Pajunk SonoPlex needles provide the best available U/S-visibility of the needle and needle tip. 5,6 360 Gliding and Stimulation NanoLine coating provides excellent gliding and stimulation qualities, and helps improving the U/S-visibility of the needle.
E-Cath Plus The extended tip option The E-Cath Plus brings all the benefits of the classic E-Cath system and offers additionally the following features: Longer inner catheter tip Unique 360 degree side port along with 3 lateral openings NEW PRODUCT! The perfect E-Cath fixation Simple use, small size & clear film material Product advantages at a glance Designed to further reduce catheter migration and dislocation 15 mm Easy and quick application Universally usable for all nerve blocks due to small size Longer E-Catheter tip protrudes 15mm past the indwelling catheter Easy placement past the nerve Compensates for minor tissue movement reducing chance of catheter migration Puncture site can be easily inspected at any time due to clear film material Skin friendly hydrocolloid dressing Internal E-Catheter with integrated stylet (25mm length) at proximal end Easy threading and additional stability to the soft inner catheter Allows the tip to remain flexible and atraumatic No additional procedural steps Studies 1 Ip V.
