Peripheral Nerve Block

ContiStim® Stimulating Catheter

Portex Brand Logo

ContiStim® Stimulating Catheter is the newest addition to Smiths Medical’s existing line of peripheral nerve block products.

Many clinicians utilize a stimulating catheter to achieve optimal placement of the catheter. Optimizing placement of nerve block catheters can lead to improved clinical outcomes, such as reductions in patients’ pain scores and opioid consumption. The ContiStim® allows for stimulation during placement as well as hours or days after the initial placement.
