B. Braun Officially Launches B-SMART(TM) in the U.S.
First and Only Disposable Manometer for Objective Monitoring of Injection Pressure
(firmenpresse) - BETHLEHEM, PA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/27/15 -- B. Braun Medical Inc. (B.Braun), the market leader in Regional Anesthesia (RA) announced today that it has launched an injection pressure monitor for peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) in the U.S., through an agreement with Concert Medical, LLC.
B-Smart is the first and only disposable manometer for objective monitoring of injection pressure during administration of PNBs.

Resistance to injection is part of a standard documentation procedure during nerve blocks.

Monitoring a pressure in real-time provides objective information to make more informed decisions on how to proceed with an injection.
An objective and quantifiable method of monitoring and documenting injection pressure regardless of who performs the injection.
"This device represents the latest advance in injection pressure monitoring," said Brad Lane, Vice President, Critical Care Marketing at B.Braun. "B-Smart creates a last line of defense by effectively and objectively measuring PNB injection pressures, and can easily be integrated into clinical practice. We want to be the customer's first choice for delivering RA safely and effectively," added Lane.
B.Braun also recently launched an informative Injection Safety Monitoring (ISM) website called , which will educate visitors about the various ways to integrate complementary monitoring modalities (injection pressure, ultrasound and stimulation) into PNB procedures.
