Indication
Arterial Leadercath is a catheter for arterial puncture (radial, brachial, axillary...)
The Seldinger technique makes arterial puncture easier particularly in hypotensive patients with a weak peripheral pulse and when the arteries are atherosclerosed or narrow.
Arterial Leadercath is used
- for blood gas measurements (Pa O2, Pa CO2...)
- invasive arterial pressure monitoring.
These catheters can also be inserted in the internal jugular or subclavian vein for the administration of I.V. solutions and drugs.
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.
Description
Arterial Leadercath is a transparent arterial catheter with radiopaque lines introduced using the Seldinger technique.Although it can be inserted in a variety of arteries, the most common site for the placement of this catheter is the radial artery.
The Seldinger technique makes arterial puncture easier particularly in hypotensive patients with a weak peripheral pulse and when arteries are atherosclerosed or narrow.
Arterial Leadercath is presented in a rigid blister pack containing:
- 1 safety needle Seldisafe 20G (holding the plastic white loop against the skin of the patient, the user pulls the hub of the needle. A safety device slides along the needle and neutralizes the needle bevel preventing all risk of needle-stick injury).
- 1 straight guidewire,
- 1 PU extension tube length 10 cm with an Autoflush,
- 1 transparent and radiopaque catheter in polyethylene with winged hub.
