Key Features
Extended Reach: The 145 mm length is used for procedures where the target nerve is deeper than a standard 100 mm probe can reach, such as in bariatric patients or for specific deep-nerve anatomy.
Optimized Rigidity: The 20-gauge diameter is thicker than the standard 22G. This provides additional column strength, which is vital for a longer probe to ensure it reaches the target without deflecting or bending during insertion.
Nitinol Construction: Nitinol is a "shape-memory" alloy. It allows the probe to be highly flexible and resistant to permanent kinks, ensuring it remains straight even after multiple passes through a cannula.
Disposable Efficiency: As a single-use device, it is provided pre-sterilized. This eliminates the need for hospital reprocessing (cleaning and autoclaving), reducing the risk of cross-contamination and ensuring consistent electrical performance.
