Post-Operative Pain Management Systems

Tunneling System

Post-Operative Catheter Placement Devices Tunneling System

Expand catheter placement options for greater functionality, steerability, and versatility. The Moog Tunneling System facilitates placement of standard and saturation catheters for more effective post-operative pain management.

Post-operative pain management programs significantly reduce patient discomfort, decrease the length of stay, improve patient satisfaction, and lower overall narcotic usage levels1.

Functionality: Designed by tunneler experts and manufactured to the high standards of precision surgical instruments.

  • Brushed stainless steel handle is notched for steady grip.
  • Rounded blunt tip to prevent soft tissue trauma.
  • PTFE sheath glides through tissue smoothly, then separates cleanly from the hub to the distal tip.
  • Engraved with gauge and length for rapid identification.

Steerability: Malleable yet durable, tunnelers are designed to be shaped and reshaped by the clinician to provide the support and steerability needed to achieve accurate catheter placement case after case.

Versatility: Choice of commonly used sizes, Moog’s Tunneling System includes all necessary components to expand pain management catheter placement options.

Education: Guides available with both incisional and tunneler placement instructions to assist in catheter placement.
