Contiplex® Echo

Echogenic catheter and needle system for continuous nerve blocks

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.
