Description
The Sterimed Pressure Monitoring Line (SMD 706) is a medical device used for the continuous and invasive monitoring of a patient's blood pressure in real-time. It serves as a conduit, connecting an indwelling arterial or venous catheter to a pressure transducer, which then displays the reading on a monitor. This is particularly common in intensive care units and during major surgeries. Made from clear, non-toxic, medical-grade PVC, the tubing is designed to be kink-resistant to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted fluid path for accurate pressure transmission.
Kink-Resistant Tubing: The line is made from flexible, transparent PVC material that resists kinking, ensuring an uninterrupted flow and reliable pressure readings. Secure Luer Lock Connectors: It is equipped with universal male and female Luer lock connectors on either end, providing a secure and leak-proof connection to standard medical equipment. High-Pressure Tolerance: This monitoring line is constructed to withstand high pressures, making it suitable for arterial blood pressure monitoring. Sterile and Single-Use: Each pressure monitoring line is supplied in a sterile, peel-open pouch and is intended for single-patient use to minimize the risk of infection and cross-contamination. Latex-Free Construction: The device is made from latex-free materials, reducing the risk of allergic reactions in sensitive patients.
