Central venous catheter Vaxcel® PICCs

The Vaxcel® PICC is a non-valved catheter intended for short- or long-term infusion therapy. It is available in a variety of configurations to satisfy the needs of the inserter. Vaxcel® PICCs are designed for image-guided placement. Enhanced radiopacity is designed for improved visualization when using fluoroscopic guidance for insertion and for tip confirmation via chest x-ray. Vaxcel® PICCs incorporate a reverse taper extrusion, which is designed for improved kink resistance. In addition, the reverse taper is intended to provide greater pushability for easier placement. The catheter body’s large lumen diameters are designed to provide greater flow rates at lower pressures and minimize the risk of catheter occlusion. Users may also benefit from the clear extension tubes offered by the Vaxcel® PICC design. These are intended to provide early visualization of blood return.
