E-Cath® & E-Cath® Plus
Echogenic Catheter-Over-Needle System
#1 echogenic CON system globally
E-Cath® & E-Cath® Plus
Echogenic Catheter-Over-Needle System
Developed together with Dr. Ban Tsui, the E-Cath / E-Cath Plus combines the best from clinical experience and engineering expertise, resulting in a system that addresses the biggest catheter problems in CNBs: complexity, catheter kinking, anaesthetic leakage and catheter dislocation and migration.1,2,3,4
The results are easier, faster, safer, and more reliable continuous nerve blocks with a reduction of workload during postoperative pain management.

E-Cath/E-Cath Plus Overview
E-Cath/E-Cath Plus Features & Advantages
1. Catheter-Over-Needle Technique
- Significantly reduces the chance of anaesthetic leakage and catheter dislocation or migration4
2. Soft Tip
- Reduced chance of nerve damage
3. Double Layer Catheter Technology
- Significantly reduces the chance of kinking
- Allows for consistent anaesthetic flow
4. Integrated Injection Tube
- Reduction of procedural steps
- Catheter adapter is pre-assembled to the catheter system
5. Self Priming System
- E-Catheter comes with a proximal opening which allows the anaesthetic to flow, besides the open tip, also between the outer wall and the indwelling catheter
- Creates 360 degree flow
- Improves the U/S-visibility
6. Extended E-Catheter Tip (E-Cath Plus only)
- Longer E-Catheter tip protrudes 15mm past the indwelling catheter
- Easy placement past the nerve
- Compensates for minor tissue movement reducing chance of catheter migration
7. FixClip
- Ensures a fixed connection between the needle and the indwelling catheter
SonoPlex® Features & Advantages
1. Echogenic Needle Tip
- Facet tip with two inclination angles
- Improves needle tip visibility under ultrasound
2. Cornerstone Reflectors
- 360 degree graduations on the first 20 mm of the needle
- Optimized ultrasound visibility of needle shaft5
- Reliable needle visualization at any angle6,7
3. NanoLine® Coating
- Very thin polymer film, smooth surface, accurate inner and outer diameter
- Excellent puncture and gliding properties through smooth surface
- Improves visibility under ultrasound7
- Precise stimulation through the non-insulated needle tip
4. Self Priming System
- Needle comes with a distal opening which allows the anaesthetic to flow, besides the needle tip, also between the outer needle wall and the indwelling catheter
- Improves ultrasound visibility
5. Depth Markings and Smooth Needle Surface
- Easy to read and identify
