Peripheral Nerve Block Products

STIMPOD 450X

• Universal handheld system designed to provide functionality for nerve location; with add-on cables for nerve mapping and neuromuscular blocking agent monitoring.  All cables sold separately.
• Ability to vary frequency/pitch, pulse width and current.
• Visual and audible feedback is given when the target current and pulse width ranges are reached indicating probable nerve proximity.
• Displays real time graphical representation of the actual waveform delivered.  Pause mode allows changing stimulus parameters without stimulating.
• Non-linear current adjustment.  User can pre-program 20 different current and pulse width settings.
• Items needed for basic nerve stimulation are Stimpod NMS450X (#NB-STIM), Nerve Location and Mapping Cable (#NBMP), Crocodile Clip (#NBCC) and choice of stimulating needle.

ADD-ON CABLES:

• Nerve Mapping Probe (#NBMP) enables nerve location and transcutaneous nerve mapping at higher currents (to a maximum of 20mA), while the tip offers a contact surface small enough to ensure effective discrimination.
• Tri-axial accelerometer (#NBCA) provides real time feedback of the strength of contraction of the affected limb (Train of Four, Double Burst, and Post Tetanic Count modes only).  The strength of each measured contraction is displayed graphically and the relevant ratios are calculated and displayed.

STIMULATING NEEDLES

Stimulating nerve block needles are for acute pain management and to help increase overall nerve block success.  Available in a variety of sizes.  Can be used with or without ultrasound guidance.

• 2mm pin connector is compatible with MILA Stimpod and most nerve stimulators.
• Insulated needle cannula with a stimulating tip allows for needle guidance using stimulation.
• B Bevel, echo needle tip designed to increase visibility under ultrasound guidance.
• Centimeter markings on the outer cannula to facilitate depth placement.
• Item #NB2205, NB2108 and NB2110.

ECHOGENIC NEEDLES for ULTRASOUND

Echogenic needles feature 360° dimple reflectors located at the distal end of the needle that create a clear and more defined ultrasound image from any angle without compromising puncture characteristics.

NERVE BLOCK NEEDLES - 

• Use for nerve block injections.
• Clear needle tip visualization under ultrasound for safe and accurate needle placement.
• Needle bevel is 30° back-cut.
• Item #E2103 and E2104.

MSK/SPINAL NEEDLES - 

• Use for musculoskeletal and spinal injections.
• Clear needle tip visualization under ultrasound for saft and accurate needle placement.
• Needle bevel is Quincke style.
• Item #E2008, E1806 and E1808
