Description
The Avanos HN1-80 is a PROBLOC II Insulated Regional Block Needle*. It is designed for single-shot peripheral nerve blocks, providing targeted anesthesia for surgeries involving deeper anatomical structures.
The HN1 series represents the base configuration of the PROBLOC II* line, offering a high-quality insulated needle for clinicians who prefer to use their own separate extension tubing or stimulating cables.
Technical Specifications
Needle Gauge: 22G.
Needle Length: 80 mm (approximately 3.15 inches).
Needle Tip: 30° Block Bevel (a short-bevel design for improved tactile feedback).
Insulation: Sleeve-coated insulation that ensures electrical current is only active at the needle tip for precise nerve localization.
Key Features
Nerve Stimulation Ready: The insulated shaft directs the electrical signal solely to the tip. This allows the clinician to identify the target nerve by observing a muscle response (twitch) when used with a stimulator.
Simplified Configuration: Unlike the HN2 or HN3S series, the HN1-80 is a "basic" needle. It does not include a pre-attached injection set (tubing) or a stimulating cable. This makes it a streamlined option for facilities that use separate universal components.
Tactile Feedback: The 30° block bevel is specifically engineered for regional anesthesia, helping the clinician "feel" when the needle has penetrated specific fascial planes.
Graduated Markings: The needle shaft features numerical indicators to help the clinician monitor the depth of insertion in real-time.
Latex-Free: Safe for use on patients with natural rubber latex allergies.
Primary Uses
The 80 mm length is intended for deep peripheral nerve blocks where the target nerve is located significantly below the skin surface, such as:
Sciatic Nerve Blocks: Commonly performed for surgeries on the lower leg, ankle, or foot.
Lumbar Plexus Blocks: Reaching deeper nerve structures for major hip or thigh procedures.
Popliteal Blocks: Used for procedures involving the lower leg and foot.
Infraclavicular Blocks: For upper extremity anesthesia where a deeper approach is required.
