Description

the Avanos TBT01089T is an ON-Q T-Bloc Continuous Echogenic Nerve Block Tray**. This is a comprehensive procedural kit that includes all the necessary sterile components to perform a continuous nerve block, specifically centered around the ON-Q T-Bloc** system.

Unlike individual needle or catheter sets, this is a fully equipped tray, meaning it includes prep items like drapes, syringes, and local anesthetic accessories in addition to the specialized needle and catheter.


Technical Specifications

  • Needle Gauge: 18G.

  • Needle Length: Approximately 89 mm (3.5 inches).

  • Needle Tip: Tuohy Bevel (a curved tip designed for steering the catheter).

  • Catheter Type: 20G Continuous Catheter.

  • Guidance Type: Echogenic (Ultrasound-ready) and Non-Stimulating.


Key Tray Contents

Because this is a procedural tray, it contains everything needed to maintain a sterile field and perform the block:

  • Block Components: An 18G echogenic Tuohy needle and a 20G continuous catheter with an internal stylet.

  • Catheter Securement: Includes specialized securement devices (such as a LockIT Plus*) to prevent the catheter from being pulled out.

  • Ultrasound Accessories: A sterile ultrasound probe cover, gel packet, and rubber bands.

  • Skin Prep & Draping: Fenestrated drapes with adhesive backings and prep applicators.

  • Medication & Delivery: Various syringes (typically 5 ml, 10 ml, and 20 ml), safety needles for skin numbing, and filtered needles for drawing medication.

  • Dressings: Adhesive dressings (like Tegaderm) and sterile gauze pads.


Key Features

  • T-Bloc Design:* Optimized specifically for use with the ON-Q Pain Relief System* (the elastomeric pump), ensuring all connections are compatible for seamless post-operative pain management.

  • Full-Length Echogenicity: The needle features a laser-etched pattern that provides 360° visibility under ultrasound. This is critical for the precise placement of an 89 mm needle in deep tissue.

  • Tuohy Bevel Advantage: The curved tip allows the clinician to direct the catheter at an angle parallel to the nerve, which is the preferred method for continuous blocks to prevent kinking.

  • Procedural Efficiency: Having all components in a single sterile tray reduces setup time and ensures that all necessary items—from skin prep to final dressing—are readily available.


Primary Uses

The TBT01089T is used for Continuous Peripheral Nerve Blocks (CPNB) where a catheter remains in the patient for several days, such as:

  • Adductor Canal Blocks: For pain management after total knee replacements.

  • Femoral Nerve Blocks: Used for recovery after major hip or knee surgery.

  • Interscalene Blocks: For post-operative relief following shoulder reconstruction.

  • Fascial Plane Blocks: Such as TAP or PECS blocks, where a catheter provides extended analgesia.
