Central Venous Catheters

Multi-Lumen Central Venous Catheter

Biosensors offers a wide range of Central Venous Catheters (CVC) for patients, from infants to adults.

Our CVCs are made with a special polyurethane material which softens upon insertion into the body. This creates less trauma for the patient and provides greater control to the doctor during catheter insertion.

The soft-tip at the distal end allows the catheter to be navigated easily within the vessel without irritating the vessel walls. Our CVCs can be used with the commonly-available straight introducer needle, as well as the Y-Valve needle which allows for easy guide-wire insertion while minimizing air embolism and backflow of blood.

Features and Benefits of Biosensors' Multi-Lumen Central Venous Catheters:

• Superior geometric soft-tip design coupled with unique soft-blended bio-compatible material makes insertion safe and easy.
• Specially-formulated bio-compatible polyurethane material provides strength during insertion, yet softens in the body.
• Sufficiently radiopaque material with clear, definite marking; ensures correct placement on the catheter tip.
• Specially-designed guidewire has a soft, flexible tip and prevents perforation (vascular trauma), yet has excellent stiffness that provides good torque to ensure firm insertion.
• Soft tip available in Single Lumen.
• 2 types of introducer needles available: Straight Needle and Y-Valve Needle. Y Valve Needle is designed for easy introduction of the guidewire. In addition, it also prevents the back-flow of blood and the occurrence of air embolism.
