  • studies

SonoPlex needles have been specially developed by Pajunk® for single-shot peripheral nerve blocks under ultrasound with or without stimulation. The SonoPlex has patented “Cornerstone” reflectors for optimum needle echogenicity, whatever the entry angle. The new-generation SonoPlex II combines a removable neurostimulation cable, a moulded injection tubing and a colour code on the hub for quick and easy identification of the needle gauge.

Needle with Facet S (Non-insulated bevel) provides precise stimulationPre-connected neurostimulation cable is removable for easy withdrawal, more flexibility and maintained asepsisColour-coded hub enables quick and easy visual identification of needle sizeThe injection tubing is 60 cm long and overmoulded to provide a closed system with no risk of leakageCornerstone reflectors for optimum visibility of the needle under ultrasound regardless of the entry angleAn internal and external NanoLine coating for perfect glide and reduced puncture pressureAn echogenic tip for improved visibility under ultrasound
