Catheter Set for Epidural or Peripheral Nerve Blockade

摘要

A catheter set for the epidural or peripheral nerve blockade, in which a flexible catheter (20) includes a stimulation tip (22) for the localization and positioning of the catheter tip by electro-stimulation. A reinforcing stylet (40) is introducible in the catheter (20). The axial position of the reinforcing stylet (40) in the catheter (20) is so selected that the distal end area (b) of the catheter (20) is un-reinforced and remains flexible.
