Description
The Avanos HN3S-100 is a PROBLOC II Insulated Regional Block Needle*. This is a deep-access version of the PROBLOC II single-shot line, specifically designed to identify and anesthetize nerves at significant depths using electrical stimulation.
The "HN3S" code indicates it is a stimulating needle equipped with an integrated electrical cable and a 30° block bevel.
Technical Specifications
Needle Gauge: 20G (the slightly larger gauge provides the rigidity needed to prevent the needle from bending at this length).
Needle Length: 100 mm (approximately 4 inches).
Needle Tip: 30° Block Bevel (a short-bevel safety tip).
Insulation: Fully insulated shaft with a precision-exposed stimulating tip.
Configuration: Stimulating (includes a pre-attached electrical cable and clear injection tubing).
Key Features
Extended Reach and Stability: At 100 mm, this needle is built for deep nerve structures. The 20-gauge thickness provides the necessary "column strength," allowing the clinician to advance the needle through dense tissue without it bowing or wandering off-course.
Focused Tip Stimulation: The insulation ensures the electrical current is concentrated strictly at the needle's tip. This allows for highly accurate nerve localization, as a muscle twitch response only triggers when the tip is in the immediate vicinity of the target.
Tactile Feedback Safety: The 30° block bevel is designed to be less traumatic than a standard hypodermic needle. It allows the physician to "feel" the needle passing through various fascial planes, which is a critical safety check when working at 4-inch depths.
Integrated Injection Set: The pre-attached clear extension tubing allows for a "stationary needle" technique. An assistant can perform aspiration and injection while the clinician keeps the needle perfectly steady at the target nerve.
Depth Monitoring: The shaft features numerical markings to help the practitioner monitor the exact insertion depth in real-time.
Primary Uses
The 100 mm length is intended for deep-tissue peripheral nerve blocks, particularly in patients with a larger body habitus or for naturally deep targets, such as:
Deep Sciatic Nerve Blocks: (Gluteal approach) for anesthesia of the lower leg and foot.
Psoas Compartment Blocks: To reach the lumbar plexus located deep within the posterior abdominal wall.
Lumbar Plexus Blocks: For prolonged pain relief following hip or femur surgery.
Deep Fascial Plane Blocks: Where the target area is located beneath multiple thick muscle layers.
