Less invasive: connects to an existing arterial catheter, allowing for rapid setup and expand-

ing options for monitoring high-risk patients. Easy to use: initiates CCO monitoring with patient’s age, sex and height, and compensates for changes in patient’s vascular physiology.

Pioneering medical technology

SonoLong – The new revo-lutionary echogenic cath-eter kit equipped with “3D Cornerstone” refl ectorsPAJUNK® has, as the fi rst and only manufacturer, initiated a system, by which the catheter is introduced under sterile conditions directly from a cassette through the TRUE echogenic SonoPlex cannula. The SonoPlex cannula is equipped with “3D Cornerstone” refl ectors, which render optimal refl ection properties at steep and shallow punc-ture angles. This SonoLong kit is perfectly suitable for the optimal ultrasound guided continuous nerve block.

The catheter of the SonoLong kit has been provided with a steel stylet, which gives the catheter maximum stability and improves echogenicity. It is removed after catheter insertion.

Maximum stability and improved echoge-nicity – through steel stylet

The distal end of the SonoPlex cannula is equipped with a pattern embossed section over the fi rst 20 mm. This new feature provides optimal visibility of the cannula tip, which can be identifi ed with absolute certainty, regard-less of steep or shallow puncture angles.

Visibility – regardless of the puncture angle

The distal end of the radiopaque catheter is open. This ensures the free fl ow of the anesthetic – particularly in connection with the post-operative injection pump. In addition, the 50 cm long catheter, has been provided with ascending depth graduations at intervals of 5 cm. Therefore its exact position can be determined at any time.

Optimal fl ow and localization – through central opening and depth graduations

SonoPlex – THE Ultrasound Nerve Block Cannula

Regional Anaesthesia • Laparoscopy • Biopsy • Worldwide

Please e-mail us for a free sample Kit or visit our website for more information richard.fi [email protected] www.sonoplexusa.com

Pioneering medical technology

Visible cannula tipThe distal end has been provided with two pattern-embossed sec-tions, each having a length of 10 mm and separated from each other by a blank zone, which provides for additional orienta-tion. The visibility of the cannula therefore covers a total length of 20 mm, and it is thus distinctively recognizable.

The „Corner Stone“ refl ectors refl ect ultrasound waves in a spec-trum of incidence angles ranging from 60° to -20°. The visibility of the cannula is therefore guaran-teed at a fl at puncture angle, and at a steep puncture angle as well.

100 % refl ection - thanks to „Corner Stone“ refl ectors

The embossed indentations at the tip of the cannula are shaped as if the corner of a cube had been impressed into the surface: This renders three surfaces which res-pectively coincide in 90° angles. The surface is thereby enlarged in such way to permit the - direct or indirect - refl ection of the ultra-sound waves from almost every angle of incidence.

The refl ection guarantee

With SonoPlex, PAJUNK® has developed a new cannula-generation, an innovation, which for the fi rst time facilitates the unerring localization by means of ultrasound technology. The distal end of the cannula shaft has been equipped with a circumfer-ential array of refl ectors. The nature of the „Corner Stone“ refl ectors renders optimal refl ection properties in any position, at steep and at fl at puncture angles as well.
