Ultrasound Guided Plexus Anaesthesia

Ultrasound guided regional anaesthesia has become the dominant technique. Today even the finest anatomical structures including peripheral nerves can be identified in detail and anaesthetised selectively under viewing, using the modern high-resolution ultrasound scanners. Echogenic cannulas are more convenient, contribute to an improved quality of the ultrasound image in use, when compared with non-echogenic designs whereby the cannula is advanced completely under viewing, resulting in a minimization of the risk of complications. The visibility of cannulas under ultrasound monitoring has become one of the most important criteria for the selection of a product in clinical practice, particularly in steep insertion angles. Based on the „Cornerstone“ technology , developed together with Dr. Chris Mitchell, PAJUNK® launched the echogenic Sono cannulas a few years ago, that exactly meet these requirements.
