Description
The Avanos PL19100GC is a ProLong Continuous Nerve Block Set*. This set is designed for the placement of a catheter near peripheral nerves to provide extended post-operative pain relief through continuous infusion.
The "PL" designation indicates it is part of the ProLong* line, which is engineered to provide a reliable and durable system for regional anesthesia.
Technical Specifications
Needle Gauge: 19G.
Needle Length: 100 mm (approximately 4 inches).
Needle Tip: Short Bevel (designed to provide tactile feedback while reducing the risk of nerve trauma).
Catheter Size: 21G (designed to pass through the 19G needle).
Catheter Length: 36 inches (approximately 91 cm).
Guidance Type: Non-Stimulating (intended for ultrasound or landmark-guided techniques).
Key Features
Structural Rigidity: The 19-gauge needle provides the necessary stability for precise advancement through deep tissue layers, which is essential when working at a 100 mm (4-inch) depth.
Flexible Catheter: The 21G catheter is designed to be atraumatic and kink-resistant. Its soft-tip construction minimizes the risk of accidental vessel or nerve injury during advancement into the perineural space.
Standardized Compatibility: The set features standard Luer-lock connections, ensuring it can be seamlessly connected to the ON-Q Pain Relief System* or other infusion pumps.
Enhanced Tactile Feedback: The short-bevel needle tip allows the clinician to "feel" the distinct resistance of various fascial layers, providing a critical manual check on needle position.
Primary Uses
The 100 mm length is a deep-access configuration, making it suitable for continuous nerve blocks in patients with a larger body habitus or for nerves naturally located deep within the anatomy, such as:
Deep Sciatic Nerve Blocks: (Gluteal or sub-gluteal approach) for long-term pain management after major foot or ankle surgery.
Lumbar Plexus Blocks: For continuous analgesia following complex hip or upper leg procedures.
Infraclavicular Blocks: For extended anesthesia of the arm and hand.
Femoral Nerve Blocks: In cases where the target nerve is at a depth that standard 50 mm or 80 mm needles cannot reach.
