Description
The Avanos PL19150GC is an extra-long ProLong Continuous Nerve Block Set*. It is specifically designed for the placement of a catheter to provide extended post-operative pain relief when the target nerve structures are located at significant depths.
The "PL" indicates it is part of the ProLong* series, a durable and non-stimulating catheter system designed for reliability during long-term infusions.
Technical Specifications
Needle Gauge: 19G.
Needle Length: 150 mm (approximately 6 inches).
Needle Tip: Short Bevel (designed to provide tactile feedback and reduce the risk of nerve trauma).
Catheter Size: 21G (engineered 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
Extreme Depth Access: At 150 mm, this is the longest needle in the ProLong* line, engineered for patients with a larger body habitus or for nerves located deep within the posterior anatomy.
Structural Rigidity: The 19-gauge thickness provides the necessary column strength to prevent the needle from bowing or wandering as it traverses thick muscle layers.
Atraumatic Catheter: The 21G catheter features a soft, flexible tip to minimize the risk of accidental vessel or nerve injury while being advanced into the perineural space.
Standard Compatibility: Equipped with standard Luer-lock connections, allowing for a seamless interface with the ON-Q Pain Relief System* or other infusion pumps.
Tactile Feedback: The short-bevel design allows clinicians to feel the distinct resistance of different fascial planes, which is a critical safety check when working at a 6-inch depth.
Primary Uses
This set is typically reserved for extra-deep Continuous Peripheral Nerve Blocks (CPNB), such as:
Deep Sciatic Nerve Blocks: (Trans-gluteal approach) for continuous pain management after major foot or ankle surgery.
Psoas Compartment Blocks: To reach the lumbar plexus deep within the posterior abdominal wall.
Lumbar Plexus Blocks: For extended analgesia following complex hip or femur procedures.
Anterior Sciatic Blocks: Where the needle must pass through several thick layers of the thigh.
