Description
Key Features
Product Type: Arterial Catheterization Set. This is a complete kit that includes all the necessary components for the insertion of an arterial line.
Catheter Size: The kit contains a catheter that is 22 gauge (Ga.) and 5 cm in length.
Material: The catheter is made from a radiopaque material, which means it can be easily visualized on X-rays, helping to confirm its position after placement.
Design: It is designed for percutaneous placement, meaning it is inserted through the skin. The kit is sterile and intended for single-use to ensure patient safety and prevent infection.
Uses
The primary use of the Teleflex SAC-00522-PBX is to establish short-term access to an artery for critical patient monitoring and blood sampling. Its main applications include:
Hemodynamic Monitoring: The catheter allows for continuous and real-time monitoring of a patient's arterial blood pressure. This is a crucial function in intensive care units (ICUs) and operating rooms for patients with unstable blood pressure.
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) Sampling: It provides a consistent and accessible port for drawing arterial blood samples. These samples are essential for measuring blood gases, which helps healthcare professionals assess a patient's respiratory and metabolic status.
Minimizing Punctures: By providing a single access point for both monitoring and blood sampling, it reduces the need for repeated needle sticks, which is more comfortable for the patient and reduces the risk of complications.
