The Nerve Block Catheter Challenge

Is your traditional catheter system giving you headaches?

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 cathe-

ter 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.

TOO MANY STEPS

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

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.

SonoPlex Needle with Indwelling Catheter

“Cornerstone Reflectors”

The patented 360 degree “Cornerstone Reflectors” known from Pajunk SonoPlex needles provide the best available U/S-vi-sibility of the needle and needle tip.5,6

Gliding and Stimulation

NanoLine coating provides excellent gliding and stimulation qualities, and helps improving the U/S-visibility of the needle.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
