EpiLong range are epidural kits for epidural anaesthesia. Epidurals have served as a proven anaesthetic method for many years. Pajunk supports this modern form of puncture technology close to the spinal cord with four different kits for continuous epidural anaesthesia. These kits include a Tuohy needle and a closed tip catheter with 3 or 6 lateral eyes, LOR syringe, clamping adapter and filter. We have 4 versions to choose from:
- EpiLong I Kit:
- Tuohy needle: metal stylet, colour coded hub for gauge of needle, depth markings 1cm increments
- Catheter: closed tip catheter with 3 lateral eyes.
- EpiLong Tuohy Kit:
- Tuohy needle: plastic stylet, colour coded hub for gauge of needle, depth markings 1cm increments
- Catheter: closed tip catheter with 3 lateral eyes.
- EpiLong Soft Kit:
- Tuohy needle: metal stylet, colour coded hub for gauge of needle, depth markings 1cm increments
- Soft Catheter: closed tip catheter with 6 lateral eyes, over first 18mm of catheter tip.
- NEW EpiLong VPC Kit:
As an alternative to tactile pressure control using a LOR syringe, Pajunk has developed the VPC (Visual Pressure Control), a visual solution for identifying the epidural space. When the epidural space is reached, this shows the loss of resistance even at low pressure drop. This enables an objective position control of the tip of the cannula - in the interest of patient safety.
- Tuohy needle: metal stylet, colour coded hub for gauge of needle, depth markings 1cm increments
- 2 x Catheters: 1 x VPC closed tip catheter with 3 lateral eyes. 1 x VPC soft closed tip catheter with 6 lateral eyes over the first 18mm pf catheter tip
- VPC syringe: 10ml VPC syringe
