Description
The T11X10 is a specialized surgical tool used for the subcutaneous placement of pain management catheters. While similar to the T17 series, the "11" indicates a significantly larger 11 Gauge diameter. This robust tunneler is designed to create a wider subcutaneous path, typically used for larger diameter catheters or when placing multiple catheters through a single tunnel.
Key Features
Large Bore Tunneling: The 11 GA diameter is designed for high-flow or reinforced catheters that require a wider introducer sheath to pass through the tissue without resistance.
10-Inch Reach: The 10-inch (25 cm) length allows the clinician to exit the catheter far from the surgical site or nerve block location. This "tunneling" technique is a gold standard for reducing the risk of infection and preventing catheter dislodgement.
T-Peel Sheath Technology: Includes two 11 GA T-Peel sheaths. These are designed to be "peeled" apart and removed after the catheter is in place, ensuring the catheter remains stationary during the removal of the introducer.
Superior Control: The stainless steel shaft provides high rigidity, which is necessary for navigating the thicker subcutaneous layers of the abdomen or back, while the ergonomic handle ensures precise placement.
Single-Use Sterility: Provided in a sterile peel-pack to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination and the costs associated with resterilizing surgical hardware.
