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.
