In short
Teleflex Incorporated has announced the launch of its new Arrow® FlexBlock™ Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block Catheter.
The FlexBlock Catheter was introduced October 13th at ANESTHESIOLOGY™ 2012, the annual meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, and product will begin shipping to customers in November.
Background
The Arrow® FlexBlock™ Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block Catheter is intended for clinicians who use ultrasound-guidance when placing continuous peripheral nerve block catheters. The echogenic, coil-reinforced FlexBlock Catheter body is constructed of polyurethane, and the unique catheter design offers a combination of ultrasound visibility, flexibility, and excellent kink resistance. The FlexBlock Catheter’s tip design is intended to provide clinicians with a predictable spread of anesthetic.
The FlexBlock Catheter will be available in a variety of standard tray configurations designed to meet the specific needs of anesthesia providers and through Teleflex’s Arrow® Select Kits (ASK) custom kit program.
