Multicath 5

Multicath 5 is a XRO polyurethane central venous catheter introduced by Seldinger technique.

It consists of 5 lumens completely separated on the total length of the catheter. Each lumen leads, at the distal tip of the catheter, to a distinct hole. At the proximal end, the lumens of the catheter are connected to extension tubes of different lengths. Each extension tube includes a different coloured hub and is marked “Distal”, “Medial 1”, “Medial 2”, “Medial 3” and “Proximal” so as to identify easily the different infusion lines.

Multicath 5 is available in 4 lengths: 12cm (code 159.052), 16cm (code 159.152), 20cm (code 159.252), or 30cm (code 159.352).

It is presented in a rigid blister pack containing: 

• 1 polyurethane catheter (totally radiopaque) with fixation wings and centimetric graduations from 9cm from distal tip. Smooth distal end. 
• 1 puncture needle 18G, 70mm,
• 1 scalpel,
• 1 "J" Nitinol guidewire (particularly kink-resistant) with guide-advancer,
• 1 dilator,
• 5 caps, 
• 1 5ml syringe, 
• 1 supplementary fixation wing for 16, 20, and 30cm catheters.
