Arrow TwinCath 18/20 Multi-Lumen Peripheral

Features

• Increase reliance on the use of the intravenous route has resulted in a need for sumultaneous but separate venous access sites. This need has led to the development of a multiple lumen peripheral catheter that helps conserve peripheral sites. reduce pateint discomfort and is cost effective. Because there is great diversity from one instuitution to another. the information and procedures listed are intended to serve only as guidelines for successful use of the Arrow TwinCath.
• The Arrow TwinCath is the first and only polyurethane multiple lumen over the needle catheter designed for peripheral placement. The catheter consists of two separate and distinct non-communicating lumens whick DO MOT permit mixing of infustes within the catheter. The usable catheter length is 1-3/4 inches.
• The distal lumen is identified by its white lock hub. The proximal lumen is identified by the easy to handle clear extension line also with a luer lock fitting and UserGard injection cap. All lumens are clearly marked with their individual gauge sizes. The luer lock hub design permits use of luer lock tubing and prevents accidental disconnects. When needles are used the UserGard injection cap is longer in length to reduce the risk of extension line puncture and to permit visualzation of the needle tip. The injection cap diaphragm can also accommodate the Arrow UserGardhub, a needle free product designed to reduce the risk of needlesticks. Aflexible hub/catheter transition helps to minimize kinking and aids in patient comfort. A removable slide clamp on the evtension line permits easy line changes. The small introducer needles provide for easier vein cannulation. A 0.45 micron vent plug prevents blood seepage upon vein entry.
