Frequently asked questions
Is the catheter available in single, dual, and triple lumen configurations?
Yes, these Argyle Umbilical Vessel Catheters are designed for versatility and are available to meet various clinical needs in three distinct configurations:
- Single Lumen
- Dual Lumen
- Triple Lumen
For improved safety and procedural efficiency, the multi-lumen options (Dual and Triple) feature color-coded I.V. extensions to help medical professionals distinguish the separate lines.
Does the catheter tip minimize vessel trauma?
The Cardinal Health Argyle Umbilical Vessel Catheters feature a smooth, rounded, atraumatic tip specifically designed to minimize vessel trauma during insertion. This helps ensure patient safety and reduce potential complications.
How many catheters are included per package?
The Cardinal Health Argyle Umbilical Vessel Catheters are available in two standard packaging options. The specific quantity depends entirely on the chosen configuration (size, length, and lumen count):
- 5 per case (5/cs)
- 10 per case (10/cs)
Are the Luer lock hubs clear and durable?
Yes, the Argyle Umbilical Vessel Catheters are equipped with clear, lipid-resistant Luer lock hubs.
This design ensures both secure connectivity and product longevity:
- Secure Connections: The Luer lock mechanism provides reliable and tight seals to connected devices.
- Lipid Resistance: The material is specially formulated to resist lipids, helping to maintain the hub’s structural integrity and durability in clinical environments.
- Clarity: The transparent hubs allow for easy visual inspection of the connection points.
Does the catheter have precise depth markings?
Yes, the Argyle Umbilical Vessel Catheters are engineered with advanced features to ensure accurate and verifiable placement:
- Precision Markings: The catheter shaft features clear numerical depth markings provided every 1 centimeter (1cm) for highly accurate positioning.
- Radiographic Visibility: For verification via imaging, the catheters include completely encapsulated x-ray opaque lines, ensuring the entire line is visible under fluoroscopy.
Are different catheter lengths available?
Yes, the Cardinal Health Argyle Umbilical Vessel Catheters are offered in two standard lengths to meet diverse procedural requirements:
- 12 inches (12”L)
- 15 inches (15”L)
The specific length provided depends on the selected French size (FR) and the lumen configuration (single, dual, or triple) of the catheter.
Are lumens color-coded for easy identification?
Yes, for enhanced safety and line management, the dual and triple lumen configurations feature color-coded I.V. extensions.
This crucial design element allows clinicians to achieve easy and rapid identification of the different access lines during procedures.
Are these catheters ideal for NICU use?
Yes, Cardinal Health Argyle Umbilical Vessel Catheters are specifically designed for umbilical vessel access in neonates, making them ideal for use in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). They provide reliable and safe access for various clinical requirements.
Is high-quality polyurethane used for the catheter?
Yes, the Cardinal Health Argyle Umbilical Vessel Catheters are constructed using a specialized polyurethane formulation. This material is selected for its excellent clinical properties, ensuring high performance and patient safety.
Key benefits of the material include:
- Flexibility and Durability: Provides reliable performance and maneuverability within the vessel.
- Biocompatibility: Ensures suitability for use in sensitive clinical environments.
This formulation also supports key design features, such as the smooth, rounded, atraumatic tip designed to minimize patient trauma during insertion.
Do the catheters ensure secure connections?
Yes, the Cardinal Health Argyle Umbilical Vessel Catheters feature clear, lipid-resistant Luer lock hubs to ensure secure and reliable connections during use.
