Description:
The PowerPICC® EtOH Catheter and PowerPICC SOLO®2 EtOH Catheter are state-of-the-art medical devices designed and manufactured by C.R. Bard Inc., renowned leaders in the medical device industry. The purpose of these devices is primarily to facilitate easy and reliable access to central veins for blood sampling, delivery of fluids, drugs, and nutrients, and also to enable the performance of central venous pressure readings.
Both the catheters are embedded with power-injectable Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICCs). They represent a combination of breakthrough technology and user-friendliness, making it a favourite amongst healthcare professionals. Their heightened patient tolerance compared to traditional options makes the healing process comfortable and efficient.
The devices promote the use of Alcohol Lock Technology, designed to prevent catheter-related bloodstream infections. This innovative technology employs 70% ethanol as a locking solution, greatly reducing the likelihood of microbial colonisation within the catheter lumen. This feature enhances patient safety, lowers infection rates, and thereby, potential hospitalization costs.
Built with the Valved Technology, these catheters allow for bidirectional flow, thereby directly eliminating the need for heparin, and reducing chances of occlusions. They also offer Power Injectability that facilitates the rapid injection of contrast media for Computed Tomography Imaging studies, providing clinicians with higher quality diagnostic images.
Overall, PowerPICC® EtOH Catheter and PowerPICC SOLO®2 EtOH Catheter from C.R. Bard Inc. are innovative, reliable, and patient-friendly medical devices that streamline the delivery of care, while effectively addressing significant issues of patient safety and comfort.
