Thermodilution Catheters are specialized medical devices used in invasive hemodynamic monitoring to measure cardiac output and assess heart function. These catheters, often referred to as Swan-Ganz catheters or pulmonary artery catheters, are inserted through veins into the pulmonary artery to deliver cold saline for thermodilution measurements. At LAC Health, our Thermodilution Catheters category includes products designed for precise, real-time data collection in critical care settings. These devices are essential for diagnosing and managing conditions like heart failure, shock, and sepsis in hospitals, surgical centers, clinics, long-term care facilities, and home health environments.
Key features of our Thermodilution Catheters include multi-lumen designs for simultaneous pressure monitoring, balloon-tipped ends for accurate placement, and radiopaque markers for X-ray visualization. Specifications vary by model, with sizes ranging from 4Fr to 8Fr, lengths of 60-110 cm, and materials like polyurethane or silicone for flexibility and biocompatibility. Sizing guides are available to help select the right catheter based on patient anatomy and procedure needs, ensuring optimal performance and minimal complications.
Clinically, these catheters are used in intensive care units (ICUs) for continuous monitoring, in cardiac catheterization labs for diagnostic procedures, and in emergency departments for rapid assessment. They support evidence-based practices in managing critically ill patients, providing data on cardiac index, pulmonary pressures, and mixed venous oxygen saturation.
All our Thermodilution Catheters comply with stringent regulatory standards, including FDA clearance, ISO 13485 certification for quality management, CE marking for European markets, and ASTM standards for material safety. This ensures they meet the highest levels of sterility, biocompatibility, and performance reliability.
Selecting the right Thermodilution Catheter involves considering factors like lumen count (e.g., 4-7 lumens), balloon volume, and introducer sheath compatibility. Our experts provide guidance on material choices, such as latex-free options for allergy-sensitive patients, to enhance safety.
