Description
The Polymed Triple Lumen Central Venous Catheter Kit is intended for establishing central venous access. This device is constructed from a biocompatible polyurethane material that provides firmness during insertion and softens at body temperature to conform to the body's tissues, which may reduce the risk of vascular trauma. The triple-lumen design permits the simultaneous administration of multiple infusions, making it suitable for certain procedures in critical care settings.
Triple-Lumen Design: Features three separate channels, allowing for the administration of multiple, potentially incompatible, fluids or medications at the same time through a single site.
Biocompatible Polyurethane Material: The catheter is formulated with a material that is firm for insertion but softens once inside the body, adapting to the vessel's anatomy and reducing potential trauma.
Soft Tip and J-Tip Guidewire: A specially designed soft, beveled catheter tip and a flexible J-tip guidewire are included to facilitate smooth insertion and help prevent vessel perforation during placement.
Radiopaque for Visibility: The catheter material is sufficiently radio-opaque and has clear markings, which aids medical professionals in verifying the correct placement of the tip through imaging.
Comprehensive Kit: The set includes the necessary components for the procedure, such as the indwelling catheter, introducer needle, guidewire, and dilator, providing a complete setup for clinical use.
Q: What is a triple lumen central venous catheter used for?
A: A triple lumen catheter provides three separate channels for the simultaneous administration of multiple, and potentially incompatible, fluids, medications, or for blood sampling and pressure monitoring. This reduces the need for multiple needle punctures.
Q: What are the main components included in the Polymed Triple Lumen CVC Kit?
A: A complete kit typically contains the indwelling catheter, an introducer needle, a J-Tip guidewire, a dilator, a syringe, a scalpel, catheter holders and clamps, and injection caps.
Q: What material is the catheter made from?
A: The catheter is made from a specially formulated, biocompatible polyurethane material that is firm during insertion but softens at body temperature to conform to the body's tissues, which helps to minimize the risk of vascular trauma.
Q: How is the correct placement of the catheter verified?
A: The catheter material is sufficiently radiopaque, which allows it to be seen on an X-ray, facilitating the confirmation of correct placement of the catheter tip.
Q: Is this product intended for single use?
A: Yes, the kit is supplied sterile, individually tray-packed, and is intended for single use only to minimize risks of infection and ensure procedural safety.
