Arterial Catheters

A multi purpose needle for traditional or digital angiography.

Winged design provides positive control for arterial or venous punctures.

Funnel shaped hub facilitates insertion of guide wire.

Lightweight plastic BD Luer-Lok™ hub provides excellent “feel” and balance.

Thin-wall needle for maximum I.D., minimum O.D. Sharp bevel for easy vessel entry

Two-part arterial needle, specifically designed for the Seldinger Technique

Solid Inner Needle

• precisely ground, extremely sharp, short bevel arterial point assures per-cutaneous entry with minimum trauma and vessel roll solid design eliminates coring

Outer Thin-Wall Needle

• close fitting taper provides smooth entry with minimum trauma
• tapered, square-cut distal end of outer cannula facilitates smooth passage of guide wire through needle
• lightweight polypropylene BD Luer-Lok™ hub provides excellent instrument balance
• winged handle provides positive control
• manufactured to exacting tolerances to accept guide wire with minimum blood leakage and associated clotting
• funnel-shaped interior of outer needle hub facilitates insertion of guide wire
• Sterilization method is Ethylene Oxide
• Sterile, single use
• CE marked

Barrel Seal
the depressing of the plunger minimises back flow of blood, reducing the risk of blood exposure

Plunger Head
when the plunger head is in line with the marker on the barrel, the guidewire is in line with the needle tip

Large Flashback Chamber
the large transparent flashback chamber enables confirmation of vessel puncture

Round Tip Guidewire
the round tipped guidewire aids smooth securing of the blood vessel

• Sterilization method is Ethylene Oxide
• Sterile, single use
• CE marked
• manufactured in BD Vialon™, a unique polyurethane, radiopaque biocompatible catheter material
