Under the microscope.1
Echogenic pattern under coating helps reduce impact on feel.
Under ultrasound.2
Echogenic pattern produces clear, crisp image with reduced
artifacts and acoustic shadowing.
Stimuplex® Ultra. Echogenicity without Compromise.
Improved visibility without negatively impacting
tactile feel and acoustic needle shadowing.
Same tactile feedback, needle feel and overall handling as
B. Braun's clinically-proven3 Stimuplex A needle.
Reduced acoustic shadowing and artifacts under the
needle may facilitate safer needle advancement during
Supraclavicular and Popliteal nerve blocks.
30 degree, short bevel. Most experts agree that short bevel
needles (30-45°) carry less risk of causing nerve injuries
during PNB than sharp needles with longer beveled tips.4
