Located in the catheter hub, PASV Valve Technology is designed to automatically resist backflow. Printed priming volume and lumen size simplify care and maintenance. Catheter markings at 1cm increments facilitate customization of catheter length and monitoring of tip position. Clampless, alcohol resistant extension tubes are designed to reduce the risk of damage and promote patient comfort. Patented tapered extrusion is designed to increase kink resistance and help seal entry tract. Advanced polyurethane material offers alcohol resistance for durability and convenient care, provides a balance of flexibility and strength to ease advancement, and promotes kink resistance to maintain flow. Tip design is open-ended to facilitate over-the-wire placement. The tip is trimmable to allow adaptation, and the tip marker is designed to permit clear identification of untrimmed catheter tip. Available in kits to accommodate both radiology suite and bedside PICC insertion.
