SonoLong Curl Echo

Echogenic Specialty Catheter-Through-Needle System

The SonoLong Curl Echo set was developed by Pajunk together with Dr. Cedric Luyet and is especially predestined for Paravertebral blocks. The catheter comes with a curled tip that reduces the chance of catheter migration4. The soft tip of the Curl catheter tip rolls up placing the catheter tip at the needle tip position. The 6 lateral openings allow for a consistent distribution of anaesthetic around the nerve.

The SonoLong Curl Echo catheter is visible under ultrasound and is radiopaque.
