About Epidural Catheter Kit
Epidural Catheter Kitis placed in human body for a long time, and used for anesthesia before and after operation. The catheter allows access to the epidural space to inject medication such as local anesthetics and/or for relief of pain.Advanced Features:
- Smooth Surface
- Kink resistant
- Durability and dependability
- Radiopaque
- Tapered stylet
- Accurate placement
- Sterile product for single use
Reliable Design for Safe and Accurate ProceduresEngineered from medical grade polyurethane, the epidural catheter is both soft and flexible to reduce the risk of vascular or neural injury, while the kink-resistant design with graduated markings enables real-time monitoring of catheter insertion. The soft, rounded tip further eases placement and enhances patient safety.
Comprehensive Kit for Convenient Anesthesia AdministrationEach kit contains a compatible epidural catheter, Tuohy needle (16G or 18G), a Luer Lock connector, bacteria filter, sterile syringe, and all necessary procedural accessories. These single-use, ETO-sterilized consumables meet international safety and quality standards, making them ready for immediate application in clinical settings.
Portable and User-Friendly for Hospital EfficiencyWith packaged dimensions of approximately 20cm x 10cm x 3cm and a total weight of 50-100 grams, the kit is highly portable and suitable for a variety of hospital and clinical environments. Its clear, easy-to-read markings and efficient manual operation support accuracy and time savings for healthcare professionals.
FAQs of Epidural Catheter Kit:
Q: How is the epidural catheter kit used during anesthesia administration?
A: The epidural catheter kit is used by trained clinicians to facilitate the precise administration of local anesthetics into the epidural space. The included Tuohy needle guides the catheter, which is inserted using its graduated markings for real-time depth confirmation. Once correctly positioned, anesthesia is delivered safely through the catheter.
Q: What components are included in the epidural catheter kit?
A: This kit contains a sterile epidural catheter (16G or 18G, 100 cm long), a Tuohy needle, a Luer Lock connector, bacterial filter, sterile syringe, and all necessary procedural accessories for a complete, ready-to-use ensemble.
Q: When should the epidural catheter kit be used?
A: The kit is designed for use during epidural anesthesia procedures typically performed for pain management, labor analgesia, or certain surgical interventions, preferably in a hospital or clinical setting by qualified medical professionals.
Q: Where should the kit be stored prior to use?
A: For optimal shelf life and product integrity, store the epidural catheter kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Adhering to proper storage conditions helps maintain sterility for up to 5 years.
Q: What benefits does the soft rounded tip offer compared to other catheter designs?
A: The soft, rounded tip of the catheter reduces the risk of tissue trauma during insertion and enhances patient comfort by facilitating smoother navigation through the epidural space.
Q: How does the kit ensure placement accuracy during the procedure?
A: The catheter is graduated at 1 cm intervals, allowing clinicians to monitor insertion depth in real time and position the catheter with high accuracy, minimizing the chances of misplacement.
Q: What certifications and safety standards does this kit meet?
A: This epidural catheter kit complies with ISO 13485 quality management systems and bears CE marking, ensuring it meets strict global safety, accuracy, and sterility standards for medical devices.
