Design Advantages
Contiplex Echo catheter
- Flat-coil Technology – Entire catheter length is constructed with flat metal coils designed to enhance echogenicity
- Your Choice - Open tip or closed tip, multiport configurations available
- Styleted Threadability – Catheter is styleted to help ensure control while threading
- 55cm – Shorter length designed for less slack to secure
Contiplex Tuohy Ultra 360 needle
- Better Echogenicity - New X-pattern and clear coating designed for better ultrasound needle visualization and tip identification¹
- 360° Visibility - 360° markings designed for ultrasound visibility from all sides
Patented Sideport Valve
- Inject/hydrodissect and aspirate with no need to disconnect before threading catheter
- Optionally pre-load catheter prior to starting procedure to reduce procedural steps. Can still inject/hydrodissect and aspirate while catheter is pre-loaded.
