IMPROVED ECHOSTIM® WITH NEW 4X4 REFLECTOR PATTERN


Havel’s market leading EchoStim® Echogenic Insulated needle has been improved. The EchoStim® allows you to use ultrasound guidance and nerve stimulation together for safer more effective Peripheral Nerve Blocks, and now they are better than ever. The new improved needle has more, brighter, easier to see reflectors, and is still available at the same low price you would pay for most regular insulated needles.

The original EchoStim® had 3 rows of 3 Corner Cube Reflectors (CCR®) near the tip of the needle. Depending on how you held the needle there were times reflectors were not facing the transducer. This required rotation of the needle to bring the reflectors in to view. The new 4 rows of 4 pattern makes this much less likely as there is less space between rows.

The manufacturing process used to create the reflectors has also been improved making each CCR® brighter under ultrasound. The addition of the 4th reflector in each row also makes the dots more noticeable giving the EchoStim® 16 reflectors in the needle’s first 5.5 mm. Our focus on the tip puts the reflectors on the most important part of the needle, which eliminates any “halo” effect caused by too many reflectors, and keeps the cost down.

Havel’s is proud to be the exclusive distributor of Hakko® Medical, Japan, the manufacturer of innovative spinal and procedure needles trusted by doctors the world over. If you would like to try one of our new needles, or one of our other products, please click here or call us at 1-800-638-4770.
