SonoLong SoftSecure

Precise and permanent placement of the catheter is of crucial importance for reliable performance of peripheral nerve blocks. Marhofer et al.¹ An important starting point for reducing the dislocation rate is the quality of the catheter tip. In 2012, Shih et al. found a direct correlation between the stiffness of the catheter material and the dislocation rate during epidural block.²This is exactly where the PAJUNK^® development began.

The result is the SonoLong SoftSecure catheter, which is characterized by a soft catheter material and is equipped with a stylet, a stainless steel helical coil, and three lateral openings.The soft tip of the SonoLong SoftSecure catheter ensures precise placement, as the tip is deflected away from the nerve wall due to the wall's resistance. For the same reason, the catheter is also held back by the surrounding, firmer structures of the fascia and rolls up in the immediate vicinity.

Overview of key advantages

Features & Advantages

1. Soft Catheter Material

Makes the catheter tip soft and flexible
The primary and secondary dislocation rate should therefore be minimized
Injuries to nerve structures and blood vessels can be prevented from occurring

2. Three Lateral Openings

Closed tip with three lateral openings arranged around the first 1.1cm
Optimizes the even distribution of the anesthetic

3. Stability through Steel Stylet

Set back 5cm from the distal end
Supports convenient and secure placement
The soft catheter tip maintains its atraumatic properties

4. Catheter Container

Supports the one-handed insertion of the catheter through the needle and tactile perception
Catheter placement is possible under sterile conditions
Memory effect can be avoided

5. Markings & Graduation

Outlet markings for the SonoLong needle 50mm, 100mm, 150mm, and six ascending markings in 5cm increments up to 30cm
Indicate the exit of the catheter tip from the needle
Provides easy control of catheter position

6. Integrated Stainless Steel Helical Coil

Ensures kink resistance and flexibility, as well as a stable inner lumen³
Enables a high flow rate of the anesthetic
Simple connection to the injection pump

7. Needle with Cornerstone Reflectors

360° graduations on the first 20mm of the needle in two sections
Optimizes the ultrasound visibility of the needle shaft and the needle tip⁴
Reliable and optimized needle echogenicity at higher angle

8. NanoLine Coating on Needle

Ultra-thin polymer layer in the inner and outer lumen
Specifies stimulation only through the non-insulated needle tip
