Description
The Avanos HN1-40 is a PROBLOC II Insulated Regional Block Needle*. It is designed for single-shot peripheral nerve blocks, providing targeted anesthesia for surgical or post-operative pain management.
The HN1 series represents the base configuration of the PROBLOC II* line. It is intended for clinicians who want a high-quality insulated needle but do not require pre-attached accessories like injection sets or stimulating cables.
Technical Specifications
Needle Gauge: 22G.
Needle Length: 40 mm (approximately 1.6 inches).
Needle Tip: 30° Block Bevel (a short, "blunted" bevel designed to provide clear tactile feedback as it passes through tissue layers like fascia).
Insulation: Sleeve-coated insulation that ensures the electrical current is only active at the needle tip for precise nerve localization.
Key Features
Focused Stimulation: The insulated shaft directs the electrical current solely to the tip. This allows the physician to pinpoint a nerve's location by observing the patient's muscle twitch response when used with a stimulator.
Simplified Configuration: Unlike the HN2 or HN3S series, the HN1 is a "basic" needle. It does not include a pre-attached injection set (tubing) or a stimulating cable. This is often preferred by facilities that use separate universal tubing or adapters.
Tactile Feedback: The 30° block bevel is specifically engineered for regional anesthesia, helping the clinician "feel" when the needle has penetrated specific fascial planes before reaching the nerve.
Graduated Markings: The shaft features numerical depth indicators, allowing the clinician to monitor the depth of insertion in real-time.
Latex-Free: Safe for use on patients with natural rubber latex sensitivities.
Primary Uses
The 40 mm length is ideal for superficial or shallow nerve blocks, including:
Interscalene or Supraclavicular Blocks: For surgery on the shoulder, clavicle, or upper arm.
Axillary Nerve Blocks: For procedures involving the forearm, wrist, or hand.
Femoral Nerve Blocks: Used for pain management in knee procedures or hip fractures.
Ankle Blocks: For surgery on the foot or toes.
