Indication
Lifecath CT PICC Easy is intended for use in patients who require mid to long term IV therapy. They may be used to administer parenteral nutrition, antibiotics, chemotherapy, IV medication, fluids or drugs for pain management, or for blood withdrawal and can be used for Power Injection.
Product highlights
Proximal trimming:
Lifecath CT PICC easy is a polyurethane PICC-Line with a unique design. It allows a proximal cut of the catheter designed to:
- Minimize the risk of thrombosis by preserving the integrity of the tapered distal tip (less traumatic for the vein).
- Facilitate more precise insertion using the conventional or ECG technique (no cutting of the catheter before insertion).
High pressure CT injections:
Lifecath CT PICC Easy allows highest flow rates up to 6mL/s, which makes the CT examination of a wider number of organs possible and allows better quality image and tissue visualisation.
This medical device is compatible with high pressure injections of 325 psi (22.4 bar).
Intended patient population and availability:
The Lifecath CT PICC Easy is suitable for pediatrics to adults. This picc-line is supplied with micro-invasive accessories allowing its insertion using the modified Seldinger technique or Over the Wire technique. To meet the needs of different types of placers, there are several kit configurations with 50cm, 67cm or 135cm guidewires.
It is available in three single-lumen catheter sizes (3Fr, 4Fr, 5Fr).
Description
Lifecath CT PICC Easy is a single lumen peripherally inserted central venous catheter in BIOSTABLE POLYURETHANE for mid to long-term central venous access, the length of which can be adjusted by the physician at its proximal end. Lifecath CT PICC Easy is compatible with pressure injection at 325 psi and up to 6ml/sec.This catheter is inserted with a MST peelaway introducer (Micro-Seldinger technique) allowing to puncture the vein with a very thin needle (21G).Lifecath CT PICC Easy is supplied in a rigid blister pack (with double packaging) containing:
- 1 totally radiopaque catheter (60cm long) in biostable polyurethane with temporary wings
- 1 metallic stylet to make the catheter more rigid and thus make insertion easier
- 1 "T" proximal connector. The lateral port of the T connector can be used to inject saline solution
- 1 detachable extension line with a Robert clamp
- 1 safety introducer needle 21G x 7cm
- 1 straight nitinol guidewire 50cm (codes V021292213, V021292214 and V021292215), 67cm (codes V021292413, V021292414 and V021292415) or 135cm (codes V021292514 and V021292515), Ø 0.46mm with thumbfeed guide advancer
- 1 peelable sheath + dilator 7cm
- 1 Luer slip syringe 10ml
- 1 slide clamp
- 1 measuring tape
- 1 Grip-lok, securement device
- 1 Bionector
- 1 safety scalpel
- 2 traceability labels
Lifecath CT PICC Easy advantages:
- Preserved distal tip
- Exact position of the tip at the cavo-atrium junction
- Black mark of the tip confirming the complete withdrawal of the catheter
- Centimetric marking
- No excess of extracutaneous line
- No re-placement of the PICC line
Lifecath CT PICC Easy is ideal for an insertion technique using ECG tip location method using Vygocard. This method is quick accurate and saves the cost of a X-ray.
