central venous catheter kit

A central venous catheter (CVC) set is a medical device designed to insert a catheter into a large vein, usually a central vein such as the superior vena cava. These catheters are used for a variety of medical purposes, including drug delivery, parenteral nutrition, hemodynamic monitoring, and frequent blood sampling.

Central venous catheter kits are used for percutaneous insertion of catheters into central veins for a variety of medical applications.

The kit typically includes a central venous catheter, a cannula or trocar, a guidewire, a dilator (to dilate the vein), a peelable sheath, a securing device (such as sutures), and a hub for external connections.

Central venous catheters are typically made of materials such as polyurethane or silicone, chosen for their biocompatibility and flexibility.

Depending on clinical needs, the kit can include different types of catheters, such as single-lumen, dual-lumen, or triple-lumen catheters.

Catheters within this group can have multiple lumens to perform various functions such as infusion, blood withdrawal, and pressure monitoring.

A guidewire is used to guide the catheter to the desired location, and a dilator is used to gently dilate the vein before the catheter is inserted.

The peelable sheath is a component that peels off or retracts after the catheter is placed, allowing the catheter to remain in place.
