Vascular Access

Designed to permit repeated access to the venous system for the parenteral delivery of medications, fluids, and nutritional solutions and for the sampling of venous blood.

Product Features

• Light weight durable titanium portal reservoir provides gouge resistance and long-term durability
  
• Contoured shape designed for patient comfort and ease of portal palpation
  
• Needle-stop titanium reservoir floor creates positive tactile feedback when the accessing needle makes contact
  
• Distinct rounded septum ring designed to assist in septum location
  
• High compression SECUR SITE® septum captured in titanium designed for needle retention and stability
  
• Beveled suture holes designed for ease of suturing
  
• ULTRA-LOCK® catheter connector integrated with portal for ease of system assembly
  
• Portal systems are MRI compatible

Features of catheter:

• PolyFlow® Polyurethane catheter minimizes outer/inner diameter ratio and maximizes flow rate
  
• PolyFlow® Polyurethane catheter is kink-resistant, biocompatible and radiopaque
  
• Smaller outer diameter than silicone catheters with the same internal diameter
  
• Smaller introducer than silicone catheters with the same internal diameter
  
• High tensile and shear strength designed to withstand high pressure
  
• Firm at room temperature for easier advancement into the vein with silicone-like softness at body temperature
  
• Surface structure shown to be lower in platelet adhesion (1)
  
• Catheter markings for reference during catheter placement
  
• Contoured tip for ease of advancement into the vein
