Catheter Set for Continuous Spinal Anesthesia
Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a well-known side-effect of spinal anesthesia procedures. The IntraLong catheter set combines the ogival SPROTTE® tip design, which has shown to reduce the incidence of PDPH1-5, with a ramp intended for easy catheter placement and a catheter for continuous spinal anesthesia.
