Development of Dual-lumen Single-lumen and Dual-color Catheters in Clinical Applications

Date:2024-11-08
Dual-lumen catheters, as the name implies, refer to catheters with two independent lumens. Compared with traditional single-lumen catheters, dual-lumen catheters can perform two operations at the same time, greatly improving treatment efficiency. This design allows doctors to perform blood sampling while performing intravenous infusion, or perform drug injection and blood drainage at the same time, which is particularly suitable for treatment scenarios that require multiple interventions.
Dual-lumen catheters are particularly prominent in the following areas:
Critical care: In the treatment of critically ill patients, dual-lumen catheters can meet the needs of efficient fluid management and drug delivery.
Surgery: In complex operations, dual-lumen catheters can provide anesthetic infusion and other life-support drug management at the same time.
Tumor treatment: For some cancer patients who require regular drug treatment, dual-lumen catheters can achieve continuous drug delivery and regular blood sampling, avoiding the discomfort caused by multiple intubations.
Innovative design of single-lumen and dual-color catheters
The color design of the catheter is not just for aesthetics. Single-color catheters usually have a uniform color appearance and are suitable for most routine clinical treatments. The two-color catheter is distinguished by different colors of the lumen, making it more convenient and intuitive to operate.
1. Application of single-color catheters
Single-color catheters are usually made of transparent or single-color materials. This type of catheter is widely used in medical environments for various treatment scenarios such as infusion, drainage, and hemodialysis. The transparent single-color design makes it easy for doctors to observe the flow of liquid in the catheter and monitor the treatment process in real time.
2. Advantages of two-color catheters
Two-color catheters help medical staff to distinguish different lumens more clearly during operation by dividing the catheter into two different parts of two colors. For example, when performing double-lumen treatment, the two-color catheter can distinguish the drug supply cavity from the drainage cavity, thereby avoiding cross-infection or drug conflict due to operational errors. This design of catheter is particularly important for some complex treatments, especially in high-risk operations such as emergency and surgical operations. The two-color design provides more intuitive operation guidance.
