Description
The T17X10 is a specialized surgical accessory used for the placement of peripheral nerve block catheters. Unlike the elastomeric pumps or procedural trays previously discussed, this is a tunneling tool designed to create a subcutaneous path for the catheter, allowing it to be securely anchored away from the initial incision or injection site.
Key Features
Atraumatic Tunneling: The 10-inch stainless steel tunneler is designed to glide through subcutaneous tissue with minimal trauma, creating a precise path for catheter placement.
T-Peel Sheaths: Includes two specialized "T-Peel" introducer sheaths. Once the tunneler has created the path and the catheter is threaded through, these sheaths are designed to peel away cleanly without disturbing the catheter's position.
Enhanced Catheter Security: By tunneling the catheter away from the nerve site to a different skin exit point, the risk of accidental dislodgement (migration) and infection is significantly reduced.
Ergonomic Grip: The tunneler features a customized, slip-resistant handle that provides the clinician with high tactile feedback and control during the tunneling process.
Disposable Design: Single-use components ensure sterility and eliminate the risks associated with cross-contamination or the need for reprocessing surgical hardware.
