AbstractA new device for continuous axillary plexus block is described. Using the "loss-of-resistance"-method as in peridural anesthesia it allows a safe introduction of a catheter within the neurovascular axillar sheath. Danger of puncture of blood vessels or of neural injury is minimized by a specially developed FEP-teflon-cannula. The main field of application for this device is seen in the management of pain postoperatively, mobilisation of contracted joints as well as in sympathetic block for peripheral vascular disease of various etiology. Furthermore, its allows the anaesthesia of the axillary plexus for operations of long duration (i.e. plastic surgery).
