Continuous Plexus Block –  Plastic Cannula Technique

Plexus Mini Tray

The needle(c), sheathed in its plastic cannula(b) is inserted into the patient. Using electro needle stimulation the nerve is located. Needle is then withdrawn – leaving the plastic cannula in place – at which point the catheter may be inserted to offer continuous control, up to and including the post-operative period.

Optionally available with this kit is the STIMULONG Plus stimulating catheter which enables the practitioner to confirm catheter placement relative to the nerve at any time during treatment, thus facilitating corrective positioning of catheter without renewed intervention.



Tray is offered complete with choice of Sprotte tipped OR Short Bevel Insulated needle. Needles equipped with electrical cable and clear plastic injection tubing. Catheter, Plastic Cannula and Tuohy Borst connector included.
