Description
The Avanos ELL18100SGC is an ECHOLONG Continuous Nerve Block Set*. It is a specialized kit designed for long-term regional anesthesia, allowing a clinician to place a catheter near a nerve for the continuous delivery of pain medication.
The ECHOLONG* series is unique because it combines high-definition ultrasound visibility with electrical stimulation to ensure the most accurate catheter placement possible.
Technical Specifications
The code ELL18100SGC provides the following technical data:
Needle Gauge: 18G (allows for the insertion of a 21G catheter through its center).
Needle Length: 100 mm (approximately 4 inches), suitable for reaching deep nerve structures.
Needle Tip: 21° Facet Bevel (a short-bevel design).
Needle Type: Insulated and Echogenic.
Configuration: Stimulating (includes a pre-attached electrical cable).
Key Features
Dual Guidance Technology: This needle is both echogenic (visible under ultrasound) and stimulating (delivers an electrical current). This allows physicians to use "dual guidance"—seeing the nerve on a screen while simultaneously confirming the nerve's response with a muscle twitch.
360° Echogenicity: The needle shaft is laser-etched with a specialized pattern that reflects ultrasound waves back to the probe. This ensures the needle remains highly visible even when inserted at steep angles for deep blocks.
Soft-Tip Catheter: The set includes a 21-gauge catheter with a flexible, rounded tip designed to be threaded through the 18G needle. The soft tip minimizes the risk of nerve or blood vessel injury during placement.
Integrated Stimulating Cable: The needle comes with a pre-attached lead, making it ready to plug directly into a nerve stimulator (like the EZSTIM*).
Numerical Depth Markings: Graduated markings on the needle shaft allow for precise control of the insertion depth.
Primary Uses
This 100 mm set is typically used for Continuous Peripheral Nerve Blocks (CPNB) where the target nerve is deep within the body, such as:
Popliteal Sciatic Blocks: For continuous pain control after major foot or ankle surgery.
Infraclavicular or Axillary Blocks: For prolonged anesthesia of the arm.
Lumbar Plexus Blocks: Reaching deep nerves for complex hip or femur procedures.
Adductor Canal Blocks: A common choice for continuous pain management following total knee replacements.
