Product Description

A central venous catheter (CVC) is a long, soft, thin, hollow tube placed into a large vein in the neck (internal jugular vein), chest (subclavian vein) or groin (femoral vein). A central venous catheter is much like an intravenous (IV) catheter that is placed in a small vein in an arm, except that a central venous catheter is longer and is placed in a large vein leading to the heart. It is used to administer medication or fluids, obtain blood tests (specifically the "mixed venous oxygen saturation"), and directly obtain cardiovascular measurements such as the central venous pressure. Certain medications, such as inotropes and amiodarone, are preferably given through a central line. Intensive treatment of patients with onc-hematological diseases often relies on the use of venous access devices, expecially in pediatric age, when the positioning of CVC represents an essential step in the management of these patients to allow the infusion of chemotherapy agents, blood products, total parenteral nutrition(TPN), intensive care, therapeutic drugs and to perform blood sampling.

A central venous catheter is made up of three main parts, including body, extension line and adapter. Polyurethane (PU) has high degree of biocompatibility, makes the body of the catheters. The catheter is radiopaque to help confirm catheter tip location in the patient by chest X-ray. To reduce the chance for vessel trauma, and have a special soft-tip which is more flexible than the rest of the catheter. The extension line is also made up of PU, the end of which is linked to a female Luer adapter.

Dependent on its use, the catheter is single luminal, double luminal or triple luminal, dependent on the actual number of extension line or lumens (1, 2 and 3 respectively).

This kind Central Venous Catheter kit possesses the following features:

Central Venous Catheter reduces the risk and vascular trauma due it specially formulated and biocompatible Polyurethane material which provides strength during insertion and also softens at body temperature to conform to the body tissues.
