The
Advantage
The
Advantage
- Large family of sizes broadens clinical application for neonate, pediatric, and adult patients
- Inserted into the Internal Jugular Vein this patented device is able to match the body's natural flow ratios by simultaneously removing blood from both the SVC and IVC and returning blood to the Right Atrium.
- The catheter's outer diameter is tapered with a smaller tip to ease vessel insertion
- The deflectable inner membrane enables a single piece dual lumen design
- Constructed with an exclusive material which combines the durability of polyurethane and the flexibility and biostability of silicone
- Radiopaque to assist in catheter insertion and placement
