Key Features
Optimized for Ultrasound: The needle features specialized echogenic treatment (dimpling) at the tip and along the shaft, providing high visibility under ultrasound even at shallow angles.
SPIROL® Catheter: The catheter is reinforced with a stainless steel spring coil. This "kink-proof" design is vital for superficial blocks (like those in the neck or arm) where patient movement is frequent.
Superficial Reach: The 50 mm length is ideal for "shallow" nerves where a longer needle would be cumbersome or increase the risk of over-penetration.
Tuohy Tip: The curved needle tip helps direct the catheter to exit at an angle, allowing it to travel along the path of the nerve rather than piercing through it.
