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 catheter for arterial access inserted by the Seldinger technique.
Although it can be inserted in a variety of arteries, the most common sites for the placement of this catheter are the radial and the femoral artery.
The Seldinger technique makes arterial puncture easier particularly in hypotensive patients with a weak peripheral pulse and when arteries are atherosclerosed or narrow.

The product is supplied in a rigid blister pack containing:

1 introducer needle,
1 straight guidewire,
1 transparent and radiopaque catheter in polyethylene with winged hub (except codes 115.12/15/17, hub without wings).
