Description
The Avanos 61451 (formerly Halyard/Kimberly-Clark) is a Complete Quick Tap® Paracentesis Tray. This is the highest-capacity and longest-reach version of the Avanos paracentesis line, designed specifically for rapid, large-volume fluid removal in patients with a larger body habitus (high BMI).
It features a high-flow 15 Gauge x 4.75 inch (120.65 mm) Caldwell Cannula as the primary access device.
Key Features
Extra-Long High-Flow Cannula: The 15G diameter provides the fastest flow rate available, while the 4.75-inch length ensures the clinician can reach the peritoneal cavity through significant subcutaneous tissue.
Quick Tap® Efficiency: Clinical studies have shown that this tray can reduce total procedure time by up to 50% compared to standard needles. The four offset drainage holes near the tip prevent the omentum from blocking the flow.
Blunt-Tipped Safety: The internal needle has a blunt tip that acts as a safety guard once the abdominal wall is penetrated, significantly reducing the risk of accidental bowel or organ injury.
All-In-One Solution: This is a comprehensive kit containing everything from the scalpel and local anesthesia to the final dressing, allowing for a standardized bedside procedure without needing extra supplies.
Multi-System Compatibility: The tray includes adapters for wall suction, portable pumps, vacuum bottles, or gravity drainage bags.

Primary Uses
Large Volume Paracentesis (LVP): Therapeutic removal of massive amounts of ascitic fluid (often 5L+) in patients with cirrhosis, heart failure, or cancer who have deep anatomical targets.
Viscous Fluid Drainage: The 15G bore is ideal for thick or protein-rich fluid that would clog smaller 18G needles.
Standardized Procedural Care: Used in IR, GI labs, and ERs to ensure all necessary safety and collection components are available at the bedside.
