E-Cath and E-Cath Plus

E-Cath®

Dr. Ban Tsui together with Pajunk developed E-Cath and E-Cath Plus, a catheter-over-needle (CON) system kit that addresses the complex challenges of Continuous Nerve Blocks (CNB): catheter kinking, leakage, migration, and dislocation.

The results are easier, faster, safer and more reliable continuous nerve blocks with a reduction of workload during postoperative pain management.

Order Information

Overview of key advantages

Placement

Catheter placement is easy as single shot

Reduced Risk of Leakage

Catheter-Over-Needle technique (CON) reduces the risk of leakage and minimizes catheter dislocation

Optimized Ultrasound Visibility

Optimized ultrasound visibility of needle tip, needle shaft, and catheter

Double Layered Design

Double layered design of E-Catheter and indwelling cannula ensures an unhindered flow of the anesthetic

Reduced Kinking

Occurrences of catheter kinking are reduced

E-Cath® Plus

The extended catheter tip of E-Cath Plus protrudes 15mm past the indwelling catheter for easy placement beyond the nerve. The extra length can compensate for minor tissue movement reducing the chance of catheter migration.

Features & Advantages

1. Catheter-Over-Needle Technique

Significantly reduces the chance of anesthetic leakage and catheter dislocation or migration

2. Double Layer Catheter Technology

Significantly reduces the chance of kinking
Allows for consistent anesthetic flow

3. Self Priming System

E-Catheter comes with a proximal opening which allows the anesthetic to flow through the open tip and between the outerwall and the indwelling catheter
Creates 360° flow
Improves the ultrasound visibility

4. Soft Tip

Reduced chance of nerve damage

5. FixClip

Ensures a fixed connection between the needle and the indwelling catheter

6. Integrated Injection Tube

Reduction of procedural steps
Catheter adapter is pre-assembled to the catheter system
