1 High Strength Color-Coded Ultem® Luer Connectors - Decrease the potential for cracking, increase cleaning agent compatibility.
1 Color-Coded Clamps with Priming Volume Indicators - Facilitate catheter care and maintenance
1 Optimized Tips - Unlike many double "D" catheters, which have step-down transition at the tip that reduces flow, the Decathlon's rounded bevel tips eliminate this transition zone, increasing hemodynamic flow, while minimizing hemolysis and recirculation.
1 LocProtect™ - Single side holes reduce locking solution loss and catheter clotting potential at the tips, and are optimally placed to facilitate over-the-wire insertion.
1 Suture Wing - Ensures secure external catheter anchoring
1 Polyester Implantable Cuff - Provides an infection barrier and ensures secure internal catheter anchoring.

Superior middle wall septum size and strength resist side wall collapse, reducing kinking potential
The Decathlon's superior middle wall septum design enables maximum hemodynamic flow at lower pressures, resists side wall collapse and significantly reduces kinking potential.
