Description

The Avanos 61447 (formerly Halyard/Kimberly-Clark) is a Complete Paracentesis Tray. Unlike the previous standalone cannulae, this is an "all-inclusive" procedural kit providing everything a clinician needs to perform a large-volume paracentesis (LVP) or a diagnostic tap in a single sterile package.

The kit features an 18 Gauge x 3.25 inch (82.55 mm) Caldwell Cannula as the primary access device.

Key Features

  • Quick Tap Design: Engineered to reduce procedure times by up to 50%. The Caldwell cannula’s four offset drainage holes allow for faster fluid removal compared to standard needles.

  • Blunt-Tipped Safety: The internal needle has a blunt tip to prevent accidental injury to the bowel or other abdominal organs once the peritoneal space is entered.

  • Versatile Connectivity: The tray includes components that allow for fluid drainage into vacuum bottles, wall suction units, portable pumps, or standard gravity drainage bags.

  • Comprehensive Pharmaceuticals: Includes pre-filled Lidocaine for local anesthesia, eliminating the need to source medication separately from the pharmacy.

  • Safe Disposal: Features a needle stick pad or similar safety sharps organizer to manage used needles and scalpels during the procedure.
