Description
the Avanos ELL18100TG is an ECHOLONG Continuous Nerve Block Set*. This kit is used to place a catheter for the ongoing delivery of local anesthetic to manage post-operative pain over several days.
The "TG" designation indicates that this set features a Tuohy-tip needle and is non-stimulating, designed specifically for clinicians who rely on ultrasound guidance for catheter placement.
Technical Specifications
Needle Gauge: 18G.
Needle Length: 100 mm (approximately 4 inches).
Needle Tip: Tuohy Bevel (a curved tip designed to guide the catheter).
Configuration: Non-stimulating (does not include an electrical cable).
Catheter Type: 21G Soft-Tip Catheter.
Key Features
Tuohy Needle Tip: The curved Tuohy tip is designed to help "steer" the catheter as it exits the needle. This curve helps the catheter exit at an angle that reduces the risk of kinking or accidental vessel penetration.
360° Echogenicity: The needle shaft features a specialized laser-etched pattern that reflects ultrasound waves back to the probe. This ensures the needle is highly visible even when inserted at steep angles, which is often required for deep nerve blocks.
Non-Stimulating Design: This set is streamlined for ultrasound-only procedures. It does not include an electrical stimulating cable, making it a simpler option for practitioners who do not use "dual guidance."
Soft-Tip Catheter: The included catheter has a flexible, rounded tip. This design minimizes the risk of nerve damage or blood vessel injury while threading the catheter into the tissue.
Graduated Markings: Both the needle and the catheter feature depth markings, allowing the physician to monitor the exact depth of the needle and how much catheter has been advanced.
Primary Uses
The 100 mm length is intended for deep continuous peripheral nerve blocks where ultrasound visualization is critical, such as:
Sciatic Nerve Blocks: (Popliteal or Gluteal approach) for continuous pain relief after major ankle or foot surgery.
Lumbar Plexus Blocks: For prolonged analgesia following complex hip or femur procedures.
Infraclavicular Blocks: For continuous anesthesia of the arm and hand.
Psoas Compartment Blocks: Reaching deep nerve structures in the posterior abdominal wall.
