- benefits
- studies
- legal information
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.
- Available in different gauges and lengths
- Available in Luer and NRFit connectors
- SonoPlex II needles Facet S (Non-insulated bevel)
- SonoPlex II Sprotte needles
- Needle with Facet S (Non-insulated bevel) provides precise stimulation
- Pre-connected neurostimulation cable is removable for easy withdrawal, more flexibility and maintained asepsis
- Colour-coded hub enables quick and easy visual identification of needle size
- The injection tubing is 60 cm long and overmoulded to provide a closed system with no risk of leakage
- Cornerstone reflectors for optimum visibility of the needle under ultrasound regardless of the entry angle
- An internal and external NanoLine coating for perfect glide and reduced puncture pressure
- An echogenic tip for improved visibility under ultrasound
