Decathlon Gold Catheter Design

• Multiple insertion options permit either standard insertion via the valved peel-away sheath or over-the-wire insertion via the weave technique
• Optimally separated tips with side holes increase the margin of functionality, while reducing recirculation and occlusion potential
• Larger internal lumenal design allows increased dialysis efficiency, low arterial pressure and significant flow capability
• FlowGuard™ Valved PTFE Peel-Away Sheath Dilator simplifies catheter insertion and offers a safer alternative to the standard peel-away sheath by reducing the potential for air embolism and excess bleeding

End-Point™ Bonded heparin coating anchored to both the internal and external surfaces     Soft biocompatible Carbothane material     Superior middle wall septum size and strength resist side wall collapse, reducing kinking potential     Polyester implantable cuff provides an infection barrier and ensures secure internal catheter anchoring     Suture wing ensures secure external catheter anchoring     Color-coded clamps with priming volume indicators facilitate catheter care and maintenance     High-strength color-coded Ultem® Luer connectors decrease potential for cracking, increase cleaning agent compatibility     FlowGuard™ Valved PTFE Peel-Away Sheath Dilator simplifies catheter insertion and offers a safer alternative to the standard peel-away sheath by reducing the potential for air embolism and excess bleeding
