The E-Cath system was developed by Pajunk in collaboration with Dr Ban Tsui. It makes the “catheter-over-needle-system” as simple as a single-shot technique :
–> A cannula is first used with a SonoPlex needle for positioning on the target nerve, and then serves as a guide for insertion of the E-Cath catheter.
–> The SonoPlex needle is pre-mounted in the cannula and can be withdrawn in favor of the E-Cath catheter thanks to a locking system that ensures a secure connection.
The new E-Cath II and E-Cath II Plus devices combine the best of clinical experience with the latest technology.

Additional information
| Information | E-Cath II :The end is open and protrudes 2 mm from the external cannula.The E-Cath II catheter set consists of a SonoPlex BNI* facet tip needle with Cornerstone reflectors (21G), an external cannula (18G) and an E-Cath II catheter (20G).The E-Cath II catheter set is available in different lengths and in Luer and NRFit® connectors. *BNI: Non-insulated bevel E-Cath II Plus :Closed end, three lateral orifices and protrudes 15 mm from the external cannula. Strengthened by the integrated short metal stylet : designed to facilitate positioning of the E-Cath catheter. The E-Cath II Plus catheter set consists of a SonoPlex facet tip needle with Cornerstone reflectors (21G), an external cannula (18G) and an E-Cath II catheter (20G).The E-Cath II Plus catheter set is available in different lengths and in Luer and NRFit® connectors. |

| Benefits | A secure connection:The E-Cath catheter locking system ensures a secure connection between the external cannula and the SonoPlex needle and between the cannula and the catheter.The overmoulded injection tube, connected directly to the needle hub and catheter, ensures a closed system with no leaks.The neurostimulation cable is integrated.Perfectly controlled catheter positioning:The Auto-purge system improves the echogenic properties of the needle shaft. It allows the local anaesthetic to diffuse through the distal orifice (between the two reflector segments 1 cm from the tip) and forms a layer of liquid between the outer wall of the needle and the inner wall of the external cannula.Reduced risk of leak and displacement:The needle puncture site is sealed by the external cannula, which has a larger external diameter than the needle.The double layer formed by the external cannula and the catheter reinforces the stability of the set and contributes to uniform diffusion of the local anaesthetic. |
