Description
The Avanos NSL-5 is a 5-foot Neuromuscular Stimulation Lead Set. It is a specialized high-output cable used to connect a peripheral nerve stimulator to a patient during regional anesthesia or surgical procedures.
It is specifically intended for use with the Avanos EZSTIM Stimulator*, serving as the electrical bridge between the device and the stimulating needle or electrodes used to locate nerves.
Key Features
5-Foot Reach: The 60-inch (1.5m) length allows the stimulator unit to be placed safely away from the sterile field while still reaching the patient.
High-Output Design: Specifically engineered to deliver the precise electrical currents required for neuromuscular stimulation without signal loss.
Non-Sterile: The lead set itself is provided non-sterile as it is designed to stay outside the immediate sterile field, connecting to sterile accessories like PNB (Peripheral Nerve Block) needles.
Durable Connectors: Features specialized connectors (often snap or clip style) designed for quick, secure attachment to electrodes or stimulating needles.
Latex-Free: Constructed without natural rubber latex to ensure patient and clinician safety.
Primary Uses
Nerve Localization: Used by anesthesiologists to identify specific nerves for "single-shot" or continuous peripheral nerve blocks. When the needle gets close to the nerve, the lead transmits a signal that causes a visible muscle twitch.
Neuromuscular Blockade Monitoring: Helps clinicians assess the level of muscle relaxation in patients under general anesthesia by stimulating a motor nerve and observing the response.
Procedural Accuracy: Facilitates the "EZSTIM" method of confirming needle placement, which can improve the success rate of regional anesthesia.
