The B Braun 333514 Perifix Epidural Catheters offer reliable and precise delivery with its 19G x 39" open tip design. Its radiopaque polyamide springwound FX catheter ensures smooth insertion and its threading assist guide allows for easy connection to catheter connector. Note: Not suitable for MRI. Comes in a pack of 25.

The PERIFIX® FX 19 Ga × 39″ open‑tip epidural catheter from B. Braun is designed specifically for continuous epidural anesthesia in labor & delivery, orthopedic surgery or acute pain management settings. The 19‑gauge diameter provides a balance of catheter size and flow capacity, while the extra length (approx. 39″) allows placement flexibility for patient movement or catheter tunneling if needed. The open‑tip (uni‑port) design allows for continuous infusion of anesthetic or analgesic solutions and supports catheter tip drug delivery without side‑port dispersion. This configuration supports stable analgesic delivery over extended periods while maintaining a low profile.

One of the distinctive attributes of this catheter is its spring‑wound polyamide construction: an embedded inner spring within a specialized polyamide nylon wall gives both softness (enhancing patient comfort and reducing nerve irritation) and stability (reducing risk of kinks or stretch during placement). According to the manufacturer, this balance of flexibility and traceability was engineered to reduce the risk of vascular or intrathecal misplacement, minimize paresthesia during threading, and promote consistent drug spread in the epidural space. The radiopaque nature of the catheter allows visualization under fluoroscopy if required, aiding correct placement confirmation. The inclusion of a catheter connector and threading assist guide further supports accurate placement by anesthesia providers.

From an operational and supply‑chain perspective, the model 333514 catheter supports high‑volume use in surgical centers and hospital acute‑pain units. The packaging of 25 units per case simplifies ordering, inventory tracking and stocking. Because the device is latex‑free and not constructed with rubber natural latex, it fits latex‑safe protocols and allergy‑sensitive environments. Although the catheter is MR Unsafe, the majority of placement and use occurs in pre‑operative and intra‑operative settings rather than MR suites, aligning use‑case appropriately. Overall, this catheter offers a premium option for continuous epidural anesthesia workflows, combining advanced materials, clinician‑friendly ergonomics and dependable performance.
