Description
I have removed the sources from the Avanos HN3S-80 technical summary.
The Avanos HN3S-80 is a PROBLOC II Insulated Regional Block Needle*. This needle is specifically engineered for single-shot peripheral nerve blocks, utilizing electrical stimulation to identify nerve location with high precision before the injection of local anesthetic.
The "HN3S" designation identifies it as part of the PROBLOC II line, which features an integrated stimulating cable and a 30° bevel.
Technical Specifications
Needle Gauge: 22G.
Needle Length: 80 mm (approximately 3.15 inches).
Needle Tip: 30° Block Bevel (a short-bevel safety design).
Insulation: Fully insulated shaft with only the active stimulating tip exposed.
Configuration: Stimulating (includes a pre-attached electrical cable and a clear injection set).
Key Features
Focused Electrical Stimulation: The insulation ensures that the electrical current is concentrated strictly at the needle's tip. This allows the clinician to pinpoint the nerve's location by observing a muscle twitch response at very low currents.
30° Block Bevel: This short-bevel design provides superior tactile feedback compared to standard long-bevel needles. It allows the physician to "feel" the needle passing through various fascial planes, which is a critical safety feature when working at moderate depths.
Integrated Injection Tubing: The needle is equipped with a pre-attached clear extension set. This enables an assistant to aspirate and inject medication while the clinician maintains the needle’s exact position near the nerve.
Numerical Depth Markings: Graduated markings on the needle shaft allow the practitioner to monitor the insertion depth in real-time, enhancing safety during deeper advancements.
Ergonomic Control: The hub is designed for a secure, comfortable grip, providing the stability needed for precise needle manipulation.
Primary Uses
The 80 mm length is a versatile "all-purpose" size used for moderate to deep peripheral nerve blocks, such as:
Popliteal Sciatic Blocks: For anesthesia and pain relief following foot and ankle surgery.
Femoral Nerve Blocks: In average-sized to larger adult patients.
Infraclavicular Blocks: For anesthesia of the arm and hand.
Lumbar Plexus Blocks: When the target is at a moderate depth.
