Description
Lifecath is a silicone central venous catheter with subcutaneous cuff for long-term venous access. The subcutaneous tissues colonize the cuff which ensures a secure and efficient fixation of the catheter.The extra-vascular section of the catheter features a reinforced section with clamping site, clamp and a non-removable proximal hub. The tunnellisation of the catheter must be carried out before inserting the catheter in the vein.
Lifecath can be inserted either by venous cut-down (catheter only) or by percutaneous puncture (kit with peel-apart Desilet). The fixation wings are only used during the 2 or 3 first weeks after placement of the catheter to secure it against motion, thus ensuring a quicker colonization of the Dacron cuff by the subcutaneous tissues.
The tray catheter only (codes 2191.27, 2191.42, 2191.50 and 2191.66) contains:
- 1 silicone catheter with Dacron cuff (maximum pressure 3.5 bar)
- 1 tunnelling needle
- 1 fixation wing (not available in the tray code 2191.27)
The tray catheter with introducer (a peel-apart Desilet) code 2191.273, 2191.425, 2191.506, 2191.667 and 2193.960 contains:
