Havel's LLC 

Havel’s revolutionary EchoStim®, EchoBlock®, and EchoBlock® MSK needles for Ultrasound Guided Peripheral Nerve Blocks and injections have 16 Corner Cube Reflectors (CCR®) in the first 5.5mm of the needle. This focus on the tip allows you to identify the most important part of the needle under ultrasound, and it allows Havel’s to sell them at or below what most pay for a regular insulated needle. Havel’s Micro Laser Etched (MLE™) needles are also bright under ultrasound and quite inexpensive. They have a variety of tips including block bevels, Quincke points, and the EchoTuohy™.
