SONOTAP® II NEEDLE
Single-shot echogenic needle without neurostimulation for peripheral nerve blocks
The standard needle for single-shot plexus blocks

- benefits
- studies
- legal information
Initially designed for plane blocks, such as the TAP Block (Transversus Abdominis Plane Block), QL (Quadratus Lumborum block), ESP (Erector Spinae Plane block), etc., the SonoTAP needle has proved its worth for all ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks.
With the SonoTAP® II echogenic needle, PAJUNK® has developed an echogenic needle with patented Cornerstone reflectors (like the SonoPlex II) for improved echogenicity, whatever the puncture angle.

Additional information
| Information | The SonoTAP II® needle is available in different lengths and gauges.Available with LUER or NRFit connectors. |
|---|---|
| Benefits | Facet tip (PAJUNK® patent) with two inclination angles and an average angle of 25°. This tip transmits tactile sensations as it passes through the fascia, limiting the risk of nerve damageCircumferential distribution of reflectors to capture and reflect all of the ultrasound emitted by the ultrasound probe. Patented reflector technology provides optimum visibility under ultrasound, whatever the puncture angle (even the higher angles)Colour-coded hub for quick and easy visual identification of needle sizeThe injection tube is 60 cm long and over-moulded, providing a closed system with no risk of leakage. |
