Plexolong Set acc. to Maerz
The Plexolong Catheter Set offers the opportunity of establishing deep introduction of a plexus catheter (f) for continuous plexus anaesthesia. The needle(d,c), sheathed in its plastic cannula(b) is inserted into the patient. Using electro needle stimulation the nerve is located. Once the needle is removed leaving the plastic cannula in place the flexible tipped guide wire(a) is placed through the plastic cannula(b) into the neural sheath. The catheter can now be placed "over" the guide wire ala the Seldinger approach. Following withdrawal of the guide wire, the catheter is in place to offer continuous control into the post-operative period.
