E-Cath II & E-Cath II Plus

E-Cath® II

The new E-Cath and E-Cath Plus combine the best of clinical experience and the latest technical expertise. All updates take place at the hub: the E-Cath II has a simplifed release mechanism, a bayonet lock with an audible and tactile 'click' and smaller profile hub for increased patient comfort. The slim design of the new E-Cath II facilitates the fixation of the catheter with an Epi-Guard.

Pajunk's E-Cath is a catheter-over-needle (CON) system developed with Dr. Ban Tsui that addresses the complex challenges of Continuous Nerve Blocks (CNB): catheter kinking, leakage, migration, and dislocation.

Order Information

Overview of key advantages

Self-Priming System

As a result of the proximal opening, during injection, anesthetic flows between the outer wall of the E-Cath and the inner wall of the indwelling catheter, improving ultrasound visibility

Bayonet Lock

Connection between the indwelling catheter, puncture needle and E-Cath and can be verified with a tactile and audible 'click'

Two Catheter Layers

Double layered design of E-Catheter and indwelling cannula forms a stable and safe double lumen ensuring an unhindered flow of the anesthetic and increases kink resistance

Placement

Catheter placement is easy as single shot

Reduced Risk of Leakage

Catheter-Over-Needle technique (CON) reduces the risk of leakage and minimizes catheter dislocation

Optimized Ultrasound Visibility

Optimized ultrasound visibility of needle tip, needle shaft, and catheter

E-Cath® II Plus

The E-Cath II Plus has a steel wire reinforced E-Catheter that protrudes 15mm past the indwelling catheter for easy placement beyond the nerve. The E-Cath II Plus catheter is closed tip with three lateral openings for optimized 360° distribution of the anesthetic. The extra length can compensate for minor tissue movement reducing the chance of catheter migration.

As with the E-Cath II, the E-Cath II Plus features a slim design which facilitates the fixation of the catheter with an Epi-Guard.

Two Catheter Layers

Double layered design of E-Catheter and indwelling cannula forms a stable and safe double lumen ensuring an unhindered flow of the anesthetic and increases kink resistance

Features & Advantages

1. 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
Minimizes artifacts and improves ultrasound visibility

‍

2. Bayonet Lock

Ensures a secure connection between the indwelling catheter and the puncture needle and E-Cath
The puncture needle is preassemble and ready for use
Engagement can be verified by audible and tactile “click” feedback
Enables one-handed and ergonomic use

3. Two Catheter Layers

Together with the indwelling catheter, the E-Cath forms a stable and safe double lumen
Supports the kink resistance of the E-Cath
Designed to contribute to a uniform flow of the anesthetic

4. Integrated Injection Tubing

Permanently secured on the E-Cath and needle hub
Injection takes place directly and safely via the injection tube, no additional handling required
Reduces the risk of leakage

5. 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 dislocation³ is reduced

6. Distal Opening

Additional outlet at the end of the indwelling catheter enables continuous flow of the anesthetic, even if the distal opening is blocked
Improves 360° distribution of the anesthetic

Designed to facilitate placement of the E-Cath

8. Closed Tip, 3 Proximal Openings (E-Cath II Plus)

Optimizes the 360° distribution of the anesthetic
