Description
The Avanos EBL20100SG is an ECHOBRIGHT Single-Shot Non-Stimulating Needle*. While it shares the same high-visibility ultrasound technology as the "SGC" version, this model is designed for clinicians who rely solely on ultrasound guidance rather than electrical nerve stimulation.
Technical Specifications
Needle Gauge: 20G.
Needle Length: 100 mm (approximately 4 inches).
Needle Tip: 21° Facet Bevel (short-bevel design).
Configuration: Single-shot, non-stimulating (does not include an electrical cable).
Echogenicity: Features a specialized 360° laser-etched pattern for ultrasound visibility.
Key Features
Full-Length Ultrasound Visibility: The "EchoBright" pattern covers the entire shaft, reflecting ultrasound waves back to the probe. This ensures the clinician can see the needle clearly even at steep insertion angles, which is common in deeper blocks.
High-Contrast Tip: The tip is specifically designed to be highly echogenic, allowing for precise placement of the local anesthetic near the target nerve.
Graduated Markings: Numerical depth markings are printed on the needle shaft, providing real-time feedback on how deep the needle has been inserted.
Integrated Infusion Set: Despite being non-stimulating, it typically includes an integrated clear tubing set, allowing a "two-person" technique where an assistant injects the medication while the physician maintains the ultrasound image.
Short-Bevel Safety: The 21° facet bevel is designed to offer better tactile feedback ("fascial pops") compared to standard long-bevel needles, helping to prevent accidental nerve penetration.
Primary Uses
The 100 mm length is intended for deep peripheral nerve blocks where ultrasound visualization is critical, such as:
Sciatic Nerve Blocks: Often performed at the popliteal or gluteal level.
Lumbar Plexus Blocks: Reaching deeper nerve structures in the posterior abdominal wall.
Infraclavicular Blocks: For anesthesia of the arm and hand.
Deep Plane Blocks: Such as the PECS or Serratus Anterior blocks, where precise needle tip placement between muscle layers is required.
