Peripheral nerve block anesthesia needle SonoTAP® II

echogenic22G21G

Product overview
With SonoTAP® II, PAJUNK® has developed an echogenic single-shot plane block and peripheral nerve block needle optimized for ultrasound guidance. The design integrates PAJUNK® patented Cornerstone Reflectors to improve ultrasound visibility compared with nonechogenic needles, and includes features for reproducible needle visualization, secure injection and easy size identification.

Features & Advantages

• Cornerstone Reflectors: 360° graduations on the first 20 mm of the needle in two sections; improved ultrasound visibility compared with nonechogenic needles.
• Facet Tip: Tip geometry with two inclination angles designed to improve needle tip visibility under ultrasound.
• Depth Markings: Intense black depth markings to help visualize insertion depth during needle placement.
• Non-Removable Injection Tubing: Reduces the risk of leakage during injection.
• Color-Coded Needle Hub: Easy identification of needle size via color coding of the hub.
• Available with LUER or NRFit® connections: Product variants exist in LUER and NRFit® configurations.
