Description
The Avanos TPRN-12S is a Twelve-Inch Tip Plug to Regional Needle Cable. This is a specialized adapter cable used in regional anesthesia to bridge the connection between a nerve stimulator and a stimulating needle.
It is part of the Avanos (formerly Halyard/Kimberly-Clark) pain management portfolio, specifically supporting peripheral nerve block (PNB) procedures.
Key Features
Length: 12 inches (approximately 30 cm). This short "pigtail" length is designed to provide a manageable connection point without excessive cable clutter near the sterile field.
Connector Type: Features a "Tip Plug" on one end and a connection for a regional stimulating needle on the other.
Compatibility: Primarily used with the EZSTIM* series of nerve stimulators or other universal stimulators that accept standard tip-plug inputs.
Purpose-Built: Designed to transmit the electrical pulses required for nerve localization from the stimulator unit directly to the needle tip.
Sterility: Usually provided as a sterile, single-use accessory to maintain the integrity of the regional block procedure.
Primary Uses
The TPRN-12S is utilized in the following clinical scenarios:
Nerve Localization: During a peripheral nerve block, the cable carries the electrical current to the stimulating needle (such as the PROBLOC* or ECHOBRIGHT* series). This current causes a muscle twitch, helping the anesthesiologist confirm they are near the correct nerve before injecting anesthetic.
Inter-Component Adapter: Often serves as a necessary interface when a clinician's stimulating needle of choice does not have a pre-attached cable or when the existing cable is incompatible with the stimulator's port.
Streamlining Setup: Allows for a quick, secure electrical connection in the middle of a busy surgical prep, ensuring the "dual guidance" (ultrasound + stimulation) setup is functional.
