Designed for short-term surgical procedures or long-term pain management, TFX Medical OEM regional anesthesia devices offer a number of beneficial features. To start, the catheter properties can be tailored to your application. Also, our thin wall design maximizes fluid flow while the closed end configuration facilitates uniform dispersion of the anesthetic. Specially coated stylets add stiffness for placement and allow for easy withdrawal. Available threading assist eases insertion of the catheter through the needle hub. We've even made Tuohy Borst adapters available to meet customer demand.

Of course, if you have any questions, please contact your TFX Medical OEM representative. They'll be happy to answer any questions and show you how TFX Medical OEM can help you meet customer demand, reduce costs and improve your bottom line.
