Nominee: Solo-Dex’s Solo-Dex Fascile
“Patients report that continuous peripheral nerve blocks are associated with improved recovery, more rapid entry into physical rehabilitation, and reduction or elimination of oral, post-surgical opioid therapy for acute pain management,” the companysays on its website.
The Solo-Dex Fascile catheter features over-the-needle technology that helps place the catheter for shoulder repair, hip and knee replacement and general surgical procedures. The catheter has a modified Touhy-tipped needle for optimal stiffness and placement.
“Once placed, Solo-Dex catheters remain in place, the company says. “Fascile catheters allow for the continuous modulation of medication for days of pain-free recovery. Medication delivered by the Solo-Dex Fascile catheter may be adjusted for optimal timing, dilution and volume. Facile catheters have multiple distal holes for improved spread and less occlusion. Complex manipulation is not required with a Solo-Dex Fascile placement. One hand is on the ultrasound probe, the other on the catheter. To release the catheter, simply withdraw the needle.”
