SAFE BLOCK
Nerve Block with stimulation and safety and precision matrix X-Grid™.
Safe Block is the world's first infiltration and blocking kit, built with X-Grid™ navigation technology for safety and precision, being the world market pioneer and the best selling block kit in Brazil.
Safety and Precision
The Safe Block kit is indicated to perform plexus and peripheral nerve block procedures, with greater precision and radiological safety to the doctor, patient and everyone in the operating room.
Its adhesive radiopaque matrix allows the physician to perform the procedure receiving up to 6x less radiation, in addition to increasing up to 5x the accuracy of positioning, using fewer radiological images to reach the target.
X-Grid™
Block and infiltration procedures offer radiation exposure that can be avoided with adequate protective measures.
The Precision and Safety Matrix X-Grid™ is a unique and patented solution for reducing the need for x-rays in the operating room and improve accuracy for target location, providing faster and safer cases, making it an indispensable resource for safety and precision in fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous surgical procedures.
Features
- Clear image with precise references for navigation of the cannula insertion point, providing an unprecedentedly fast and precise procedure.
- Reduction of radiation in the operating room by up to 6x.
- Up to 5x more successful in locating the target of the procedure.
- The only block material with results proven by published scientific articles.
Proven effectiveness
The only matrix available on the market with a study carried out in Brazil and published in an international journal.
X-Grid™ is the only safety and precision matrix with a study proving its effectiveness. The article "The use of adhesive radiopaque grids in genicular nerve block by radioscopy”, published in the international journal Acta Ortopédica Brasileira, concluded that: "The use of adhesive radiopaque grids has led to a statistically significant reduction in the number of radioscopies/fluoroscopies required to perform the genicular block. The use of this device increases physician and patient safety by reducing radiation exposure in this procedure."
ALARA
According to Spinal Interventional Society there is no safe dose of radiation, and the principle of ALARA “As Low As Reasonably Achievable”, or “Tão Baixo Quanto Razoavelmente Possível”. Recommending that all possible protective measures should be adopted to reduce radiation in interventional procedures, including pain treatment procedures.
