E-Cath® II & E-Cath® II Plus

Continuous Nerve Blocks as Simple as the Single Shot Technique

The E-Cath / E-Cath Plus system was developed in collaboration with Dr Ban Tsui. It makes the Catheter Over Needle (CON) technique as convincingly simple as the single shot technique. The CON technique can offer great added value, especially for the training of young anesthetists and for hospitals that do not work with continuous nerve blocks on a daily basis.

The new E-Cath II / E-Cath II Plus combines the best of clinical experience and the latest technical expertise.

Quite Simple: CON Technique in Three Steps

1. Placing the indwelling catheter using the SonoPlex needle

2. Removing the needle

3. Placing the E-Cath using an indwelling catheter

Improved ultrasound visibility of the needle shaft, needle tip, indwelling catheter and E-Cath.

E-Cath II /E-Cath II Plus Overview

E-Cath II /E-Cath II Plus Features & Advantages

Self-Priming System

  • As a result of the proximal opening, anesthetic flows between the outer wall of the E-Cath and the inner wall of the indwelling catheter during injection:
  • This minimizes artifacts and improves ultrasound visibility.

Bayonet Lock

  • Ensures a secure connection between the indwelling catheter and the puncture needle or E-Cath:
  • The puncture needle is ready for use as it is already preassembled in the set.
  • Engagement can be verified by audible and tactile “click” feedback.
  • It enables one-handed and ergonomic use of the E-Cath.

Two Catheter Layers

  • Together with the indwelling catheter, the E-Cath forms a stable and safe double lumen:
  • This significantly supports the kink resistance of the E-Cath.
  • Designed to contribute to a uniform flow of the anesthetic.

Integrated Injection Tube

  • This is permanently preassembled on the E-Cath and needle hub:
  • Injection takes place directly and safely via the injection tube, no additional handling required.
  • The risk of leakage is reduced.

Sealed Puncture Site

  • The puncture site is sealed by the indwelling catheter as it has a larger outer diameter than the puncture needle:
  • After removal of the puncture needle, the tension in the tissue is maintained.
  • The risk of leakage2 and dislodgement3 is reduced.

Integrated Stainless Steel Reinforcement

  • The E-Cath II Plus has an integrated stainless steel reinforcement at the proximal end:
  • It is designed to facilitate placement of the E-Cath.

Distal Opening (E-Cath II)

  • with additional outlet at the end of the indwelling catheter:
  • Enables continuous flow of the anesthetic, even if the central opening is blocked.
  • This improves 360° distribution of the anesthetic.

Closed Tip, Three Proximal Openings (E-Cath II Plus)

  • with additional outlet at the end of the indwelling catheter:
  • This optimizes the 360° distribution of the anesthetic.

SonoPlex® Features & Advantages

Self-Priming System

  • Anesthetic flows through the proximal opening between the two cornerstone segments and forms a fluid layer between the outer wall of the needle and the indwelling catheter:
  • Echogenic properties of the needle shaft are enhanced.

Echogenic Needle Tip

  • Facet tip S with two inclination angles:
  • Designed to improve needle tip visibility under ultrasound.

Cornerstone Reflectors

  • 360° graduations on the first 20 mm of the needle in two sections:
  • Optimized ultrasound visibility of the needle shaft1.
  • Reliable and optimized needle echogenicity at higher insertion angles.

NanoLine Coating

  • Ultra-thin polymer layer in the inner and outer lumen:
  • Increased stimulation precision only through the non-insulated needle tip.

Depth Markings

  • Easy to read and identify
