The ‘Argyle Polyurethane Umbilical Vessel Catheter, Single Lumen, 2.5 Fr/Ch (0.8 mm) x 12″ (30.5 cm) 0.08 mL – 8888160325’ by Covidien is a top-quality medical device designed with both the patient and clinician in mind. This product sets the standard of care for premature infants. The Argyle product portfolio includes single, dual, and triple lumen UVCs and a full line of Argyle insertion trays.
UVCs are beneficial for the patient as they reduce the need for painful venipunctures and provide double or triple the access of a single lumen catheter. This allows simultaneous therapies from one device.
This catheter features clear, lipid-resistant Luer Lock hubs and color-coded I.V extensions on triple and dual lumen catheters. It is sterile, not made with DEHP, and not made with natural rubber latex. The polyurethane material used for this catheter allows for increased maximum strength and flow rates. It also has encapsulated X-ray opaque lines and numerical depth markings every 1 cm from 5-25 cm.
This product is for single-use, prescription use only, and is not available over the counter. It is not a kit, a combination product, or a human cell, tissue, or cellular, or tissue-based product (HCT/P). The labeling does not contain MRI Safety Information. The device is required to be labeled as not containing natural rubber latex or dry natural rubber. Each case contains 10 catheters.
