Designed with precision, durability, and flexibility in mind, the Racz Catheter is recognized as the gold standard for managing chronic pain caused by epidural scarring and adhesions. The BREVI Series includes five special epidural catheters, each designed to handle specific clinical challenges effectively.
An Innovative Design
The Brevi Series Racz Catheters spring guide epidural catheters are constructed with surgical-grade stainless steel continuous springs, offering:
- Maximum flexibility: with an uncoated, rounded distal tip and spread coils for effective lateral injectant distribution.
- Enhanced tensile strength: reducing the risk of catheter stretch and ensuring durability.
- Resistance to kinking or collapsing: maintaining reliable performance throughout the procedure.
The new features include enhanced calibrated depth markings and Racz® Bend Marks for optimal directability for cervical and lumbar regions.
