Angiographic catheters
Angiographic 5fr 80cm C-tip
A flexible, non-electrical tube with an inflatable balloon at its distal tip designed to be introduced percutaneously into the venous system via a central vein (e.g., jugular, subclavian), and advanced from the superior vena cava to the pulmonary artery, to measure/monitor a haematological parameter(s) [e.g., pulmonary arterial pressures (e.g., wedge), stroke volume] via the pressure changes at its distal tip. Also referred to as a Swan-Ganz catheter, it is typically used in conjunction with a parent device (e.g., external blood pressure transducer) and may include devices dedicated to introduction. This is a single-use device.
