Key Features
Integrated Sheath: Allows for the smooth "pull-through" of a catheter. Once the tunneler creates the path and is removed, the sheath remains briefly to allow the catheter to slide in before being peeled away.
Ergonomic Grip: Designed with a customized handle for better control and manipulation during the tunneling process.
Infection Control: By tunneling the catheter 3–5 cm away from the primary surgical site, the T17X5 helps reduce the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs) and prevents the catheter from accidentally dislodging.
Flexibility: The stainless steel is rigid enough for precise pathing but has enough "give" to follow the natural contours of the patient’s anatomy.
