Description
The Avanos RBW-5L/BB is a Nerve Locator Lead Set. Unlike a needle or a catheter set, this is an electrical accessory used to connect a nerve stimulator to a stimulating needle during regional anesthesia procedures.
Technical Specifications
Length: 5 feet (approximately 1.5 meters).
Connection Size: 2.0 mm connector.
Sterility: Provided as a Non-Sterile item (intended to be kept outside the sterile field or appropriately protected).
Compatibility: Specifically designed for use with B. Braun, Arrow, or Pajunk stimulating needles that feature a 2.0 mm connection.
Key Features
Universal Interface: This lead set acts as a bridge, allowing an Avanos nerve stimulator to communicate with stimulating needles from other major manufacturers like B. Braun or Pajunk.
Secure Electrical Path: It is engineered to deliver precise, consistent electrical pulses from the stimulator to the needle tip, which is essential for accurate nerve localization via muscle twitch.
Durable Construction: Built to maintain low electrical resistance for accurate responses while being flexible enough for use in a clinical setting.
Single Patient Use: Designed to be disposed of after the procedure to ensure electrical reliability and maintain hygiene standards.
Primary Uses
The RBW-5L/BB is used during Stimulating Peripheral Nerve Blocks where a "dual guidance" or "stimulation-only" technique is preferred:
Equipment Bridging: When a facility uses an Avanos stimulator but stocks needles from a different vendor (specifically those requiring a 2.0 mm pin).
Nerve Localization: Carrying the current that triggers a muscle twitch, confirming that the needle tip is in the immediate vicinity of the target nerve before medication is injected.
Chronic Pain Procedures: Often used in diagnostic blocks to confirm nerve involvement before moving to more permanent treatment options.
