Teleflex Medical Exhibits Arrow Pressure Injectable Acute Central Venous Catheters

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. - (Business Wire) Teleflex Medical, a leading global supplier of disposable products for critical care and surgical applications, will exhibit its new pressure injectable central venous catheters at the Society of Interventional Radiology Meeting in Washington, D.C. from March 15 - 20. The FDA provided clearance to commercialize Arrow multi-lumen central venous catheters with the additional indication of pressure injection. Arrow is the only manufacturer of acute central venous catheters indicated for pressure injection up to 10ml/second.
Teleflex Medical estimates that nearly 20 percent of patients in acute care settings who are CVC recipients will need a CT scan. The additional indication gives clinicians who perform CT scans more options for scanning patients. CT technicians will now have the option of using an indwelling pressure injectable Arrow CVC without having to insert another catheter just for the scan. Arrow’s additional indication will reduce the stress on patients who up to now have had to endure another catheter insertion.
