B. Braun Medical Inc. will present its expanding portfolio of
regional anesthesia products at ANESTHESIOLOGY 2017, the American
Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Annual Meeting, Oct. 21-23, in
Boston. New products designed to improve efficiency and patient
outcomes will be showcased, including: Xperius® Ultrasound System;
SAXA Anesthesia Disinfection Workstation with DOCit™ and HubScrub™
IPA devices; NRFit™ connectors; and Ultra 360® Nerve Block Needles.
At booth #3126 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center,
B. Braun will feature the following products that are bringing an
innovative approach to regional anesthesia:
- Xperius® Ultrasound System: Xperius is
designed to be mobile and fit seamlessly into the care area. Its
anatomical imaging complements B. Braun’s regional block needle
portfolio, and its image quality promotes confident needle
targeting and positioning. Xperius’ fully articulating arm allows
for easy adjustments of the ultrasound monitor position and the
angle of the screen for ergonomic use and screen view. Xperius is
the first product resulting from a strategic alliance between B.
Braun Melsungen AG and Royal Philips
(NYSE:PHG)(AEX:PHIA).
- Anesthesia Disinfection Workstation: Developed
by SAXA Medical Solutions and distributed by B. Braun to help
organize the anesthesia workspace in the operating room, the
Anesthesia Disinfection Workstation includes the new
DOCit™ and HubScrub™ IPA devices.
The DOCit device is intended to disinfect and clean syringe tips
and male luer connectors, and the HubScrub device is intended to
disinfect and clean needleless connectors and stopcocks. The
devices are designed to improve intravascular device disinfection
in the operating room.B. Braun will sponsor the presentation
Infectious Disease Transmission in The Operating Room:
Clinical Research Illuminates The Risk on Sunday, Oct. 22,
in Pacific Salons A-E, Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel. Randy
Loftus, M.D., Associate Professor of Anesthesiology, will discuss
the latest research in infectious disease transmission in the OR
and innovations - like the Anesthesia Disinfection Workstation - in
device handling designed to optimize compliance with disinfection
of devices in the OR. Breakfast will be served between 5:30 – 6:30
a.m., and the presentation will run from 6:30 to 8 a.m. (The event
is held adjunct from ANESTHESIOLOGY 2017 and is not sponsored or
endorsed by ASA. The presentation does not qualify for continuing

- NRFit™ Connectors: B. Braun
offers epidural and spinal products with NRFit connectors that are
designed to help avoid connections between medical devices meant
for neuraxial administration and devices used for IV, enteral, and
other applications. By replacing luer connectors with NRFit
connectors, clinicians can reduce the risk of misconnection between
applications and reduce medication errors.
- Ultra 360® Nerve Block Needles: Intended for
use in dual guidance techniques, the Ultra 360 needles feature B.
Braun’s new echogenic 360º x-pattern. In a study comparing four
manufacturers’ needles (Pajunk’s Sonoplex, Arrow’s StimuQuick Echo,
Vygon’s Echoplex, and B. Braun’s Stimuplex® Ultra 360), the
Stimuplex Ultra 360 was ranked highest overall.1 The Ultra 360
needles are designed for nerve block injections under ultrasound
visualization.
