Infusion Catheter
Only available in Belgium
Features
The Infusion Catheter
for use with the In-Line Port
The Infusion Catheter is a flexible 18 gauge nylon catheter that can be passed straight through the septum, port chamber and catheter of the In-Line port to reside within the vessel. A luer can be connected to the proximal end of the infusion catheter for dosing or sampling. This configuration may increase longterm patency as the infusion catheter can be replaced as necessary during a procedure no more com- plicated than inserting a Trocar needle and new infusion catheter through the septum of the In-Line port.
How the Infusion Catheter works
- avoids repeated surgeries to replace an occludedcatheter
- improves longevity of patency
- eliminates the problem of “needle walk-out”
A. Insert the Trocar Needle Introducer (supplied with the infu- sion catheter) into the port septum making sure it is in far enough so that it lies in the outlet connector pin.
B. Remove only the needle and slide the infusion catheter through the introducer sheath that remains in position in the septum.
C. Slide the infusion catheter through the sheath and vessel catheter and into the vessel. The infusion catheter must be a longer length than the vessel catheter. Remove the sheath.
D. For needleless access of the port, insert a Luer Stub Adaptor into the infusion catheter and infuse or withdraw.
