Description
The Avanos 61450 (formerly Halyard/Kimberly-Clark) is a Complete Quick Tap® Paracentesis Tray. This is the high-flow version of the standard procedure tray, featuring a larger 15 Gauge x 3.25 inch (82.55 mm) Caldwell Cannula.
It is designed for rapid, large-volume drainage of abdominal fluid (ascites) in a self-contained, sterile kit.
Key Features
High-Flow 15-Gauge Cannula: The larger 15G bore (compared to the 18G found in the 61447 tray) allows for significantly faster drainage. This is ideal for therapeutic large-volume paracentesis (LVP) where 5 liters or more of fluid need to be removed.
Quick Tap® Efficiency: Designed to reduce total procedure time by up to 50%. The Caldwell cannula features four offset drainage holes to prevent tissue from blocking the tip, ensuring a continuous flow.
Blunt-Tipped Safety: The internal needle has a blunt tip that acts as a safety guard once the abdominal wall is penetrated, reducing the risk of accidental bowel or organ injury.
All-In-One Procedural Kit: Includes all necessary components—from local anesthesia and prep materials to collection tubes and vacuum tubing—minimizing the need for clinicians to source separate supplies.
Universal Drainage Compatibility: The kit is adaptable to wall suction, portable pumps, vacuum bottles, or gravity drainage.
