Self-anchoring Nerve Block Catheters

The self-anchoring indwelling nerve block catheter permits, via percutaneous administration, continuous and/or intermittent infusion of local anesthetics and adjuvant analgesics for peripheral nerve and plexus anesthesia for surgical anesthesia and pain management. The device consists of the peripheral nerve block needle, the nerve block catheter, and related dressing accessory to secure an indwelling catheter in position for up to 72 hours. The allows for targeted anesthetic delivery following catheter placement, and incorporates a deployable anchoring system that secures the catheter while in situ, preventing its accidental dislodgment or movement. The anchoring system can be safely disengaged for easy removal of the catheter at the end of therapy.
