Description

The diameters of the internal channel of the produced catheters vary from 0,6 mm, up to 1,6 mm with a step of 0,2 mm. The guide wire is made from kapron cord (standard) or from steel wire as a spiral with an axial core (optional). The diameter of a standard guide wire is 0,2 mm less than an internal diameter of catheter.
The catheterization kit includes needles of Medsil’s own production. The special sharpening of a needle provides easy insertion; the internal edge of a needle is beveled to prevent the trimming of a guide wire while its extraction.

The catheter is supplied in sterile packing (sterilization carried out by radiation method). There are several versions of a central venous catheterization kit:

including a guide wire (made of kapron cord)
including a dilator (made of plastic)
including a needle, a guide wire and a dilator
Metal guide wire representing spiral spring with an axial core
provides most comfortable introduction of a catheter.

Catheters with antimicrobial coating
Antimicrobial coating developed by MEDSIL lowers the risk of infective complication associated with insertion and long-term positioning of a catheter by approximately 80%. The chemical composition of the coating includes chlorhexidine. Chlorhexidine is exuded from the material of the catheter obstructing the infection. Catheters with antimicrobial coating are essential in the cases of long-term treatment, when the risk of infection is rather high.
