The Mediplus Rectus Sheath Catheter Set is designed to block the ventral rami of the lower six thoracic nerves (T7 T12) when local anaesthetic is injected into potential space between the rectus abdominis muscle and posterior aspect of the rectus sheath. It can be used whenever a midline incision is performed, to block somatic pain from the abdominal wall structures superficial to the peritoneum approximately 5cm on either side of the midline. Evidence shows that using the Rectus Sheath Catheter Set (RSC) for post-operative pain management can help facilitate early mobilisation and subsequent release from hospital for patients undergoing a midline abdominal incision. Summary of Benefits of Rectus Sheath Catheter: - Safer procedure - Minimise opioid use - Equivalent analgesia - Shorter inpatient stay - Low ileus rates - Less demands on nursing and medical staff - Improves haemodynamic stability - Earlier mobilisation possibleCatheters can be left in situ for longer
