Percutaneous Introducer Kit
Part: PCTa
The PCT is designed to
place the OriGen ECMO catheter percutaneously to minimize the cut-down on the
jugular vein during cannulation. The needles, guidewires, and introducers are
all matched to the size catheter that you are using during the procedure.
Percutaneous cannulation can reduce the need for post-ECMO wound treatment and
often the site wound can be treated with a simple bandage instead of sutures.The
PCT kits contain:
22 ga. needle
18 ga. IV catheter
24 ga. IV catheter
0.018" guidewire in coil sheath
0.035" guidewire in coil sheath
Introducer tubes for each catheter
