Catheter for neural blockades

Catheter for a nerve block in anesthesia consisting of a flexible plastic tube with a wire (16) in catheter (10) for electrical stimulation, whose proximal end is electrically contactable at the proximal end of catheter (10) and which leads to a contact tip protruding distally from catheter (10), characterized in that the contact tip is a metal part that consists of a plug (12) and a cap (14), that plug (12) is insertable coaxially into the distal end of catheter (10), that cap (14) is disposed in front of the distal end of catheter (10) and overlaps its distal edge surface, that the cross section of wire (16) is smaller than the free internal cross section of catheter (10), and that wire (16) is connected in an electrically conducting fashion at its distal end with plug (21).
