Indication
Arterial Leadercath is mainly used for arterial access (radial, femoral, pedial, brachial artery). The Seldinger technique makes arterial puncture easier particularly in hypotensive patients with a weak peripheral pulse and when the arteries are atherosclerosed or narrow.
Product highlights
- Over 30,0000,000 patients treated with arterial leadercath. The combination of polyethylene catheter, catheter diameter, and catheter length delivers consistent arterial pressure signal transmission even for extended dwell times, for adults, children and newborns.
- Smooth catheter placement thanks to the classical Seldinger technique allowing soft transition between the tapered catheter tip and the guidewire.
- Naturally echogenic needle allowing an easy and uniform arterial insertion with precision triangular edge. Arterial puncture with ultrasound facilitated thanks to the naturally echogenic needle and the precision of the triangular edge bevel.
