Cardinal Health Curity Thoracentesis Trays

This specialized tray is designed specifically for the thoracentesis procedure, which is the safe aspiration and collection of pleural fluid from the chest cavity.

The Cardinal Health Curity system is a sterile, closed system intended to enhance safety and efficiency while minimizing the risk of external contamination. Key features include:

• Automatic Fluid Management: Features a fully automatic two-way valve that simplifies aspiration and diversion of fluid using only the syringe plunger.
• Needle Safety: The aspirating needle incorporates an easily adjustable, locking depth clamp to prevent accidental over-penetration into the chest cavity.
• Comprehensive Contents: The tray provides all necessary sterile components, including syringes (5cc Luer Slip and 50cc Luer Lock), MONOJECT MAGELLAN Safety Needles, specimen vials, and a 1500cc collection bag with a quick disconnect feature.

The fully automatic two-way control valve is a core component designed to streamline pleural fluid management during the thoracentesis procedure. It simplifies the process significantly by requiring only simple manipulation of the syringe plunger to both withdraw and divert the pleural fluid.

This automated design offers several key benefits:

• Automated Fluid Management: Aspiration and diversion are managed automatically through the syringe plunger movement, minimizing manual handling steps.
• Enhanced Safety: It facilitates a complete closed-system approach for fluid aspiration and collection, which helps reduce the risk of external contamination.
• Procedural Efficiency: The automated mechanism provides greater control and contributes to a faster, more efficient workflow, eliminating the need for constant manual valve adjustments.

The adjustable depth clamp on the aspirating needle is a crucial safety feature. It allows the user to easily set the desired insertion depth and then securely lock it into place. This significantly reduces the risk of over-penetration into the chest cavity during the thoracentesis procedure.

The closed system design of the Cardinal Health Curity Thoracentesis Trays significantly reduces the risk of external contamination during pleural fluid aspiration and collection. This design ensures a safer procedure by maintaining sterility throughout the process.

The Cardinal Health Curity Thoracentesis Tray includes a dedicated set of sterile materials specifically for site preparation. These components are:

• (1) Underpad
• (1) Prepping Applicator Sponge
• (1) Removable Prep Tray (used for organizing the preparation supplies)

Yes, the procedure tray includes a 1500cc collection bag equipped with a quick disconnect feature. This design is crucial for ensuring efficient, closed-system fluid management, which helps to significantly reduce the risk of external contamination during the thoracentesis procedure.

Yes, the aspirating needle featured in the Curity Thoracentesis Tray includes a unique, adjustable, and locking depth clamp. This critical safety mechanism is designed to provide exceptional control during the procedure.

This clamp offers significant benefits:

• Precision Adjustment: It allows the clinician to precisely set the predetermined insertion depth.
• Enhanced Safety: The clamp locks securely into place once adjusted, actively minimizing the risk of accidental over-penetration into the chest cavity.

The sterile procedure tray includes two MONOJECT MAGELLAN Safety Needles designed to enhance clinician protection. The included sizes are:

• (1) 25 gauge x 5/8 inches
• (1) 21 gauge x 1½ inches

Yes, the aspirating needle included in the Curity Thoracentesis Tray features an enhanced safety depth clamp.

This unique, adjustable, and locking depth clamp is a critical safety measure designed for controlled insertion during the procedure:

• It allows the clinician to precisely set the desired insertion depth.
• Once adjusted, it locks securely in place, significantly reducing the risk of accidental over-penetration into the chest cavity.

The sterile Procedure Tray is equipped with two specific plastic syringes to manage fluid aspiration and sampling efficiently:

• One 5cc Luer Slip plastic syringe.
• One 50cc Luer Lock plastic syringe, designed for high-volume aspiration and ensuring a secure connection to the two-way control valve assembly.
