Description
The TB050ST is a comprehensive procedural tray designed for Dual-Modality (Ultrasound + Nerve Stimulation) continuous peripheral nerve blocks. The "050" indicates a 50 mm (2-inch) needle length, which is the clinical standard for superficial blocks. The "ST" suffix signifies that the needle is both Stimulating (insulated) and Tuohy/Echogenic (ultrasound visible).
Key Features
Dual-Modality Guidance: The needle is insulated for use with a nerve stimulator while also featuring echogenic dimpling for maximum visibility under ultrasound. This "double confirmation" enhances safety and accuracy.
Superficial Block Optimized: The 50 mm (2") needle length is specifically designed for shallow nerve targets, such as the Interscalene or Axillary blocks, reducing the risk of over-insertion.
Kink-Resistant SPIROL® Catheter: Includes the 20 GA spring-coiled catheter with an internal stainless steel coil. This ensures that the delivery of local anesthetic from an ON-Q Pump* is not interrupted by patient movement or catheter bending.
Integrated Nerve Stimulator Wire: Features a pre-attached 60 cm (24") lead wire for quick connection to any standard nerve stimulator.
LockIT Plus® Securement: Includes a specialized securement device that anchors the catheter to the skin, preventing migration and ensuring the block remains effective for multiple days.
Ultrasound-Ready: Despite being a stimulating kit, it includes a full ultrasound prep suite (probe cover, gel, and drape) to support modern regional anesthesia workflows.
