Backed by 30 years of research, the Arrow FlexTip Plus Epidural Kit is now available in the UK. The FlexTip Plus is reported to be a highly sought after and reliable product, backed by clinical data and peer to peer reviews.
The FlexTip Plus is:
- Designed to reduce complications in the epidural space, for adults as well as for children (caudal and lumbar procedures).
- Kink-resistance and tensile strength coupled with a soft, flexible tip reduce the risk of paraesthesia and the inadvertent penetration of blood vessels or the dura, that can misdirect the delivery of anaesthetics.1,2
- Simpler and faster to use, facilitated by the catheter’s unique coil-reinforced body. The structural integrity of this design provides resistance to collapsing and requires no stylet for insertion (exceptional for caudal procedures in children).
- Catheter radiopacity is enhanced by the inner spiral-wound stainless-steel coil body construction.
