Multicath3 Expert UP

Product code: 8155.072

Multicath3 expert UP is an antimicrobial XRO polyurethane central venous catheter introduced by Seldinger technique.
The ionic silver antimicrobial agent (Agion) is integrated within the bulk polyurethane material to minimise the risk of catheter-related bloodstream infection risks. Silver ions are released slowly to ensure efficacy during the dwell time of the catheter. 
It consists of 3 lumens completely separated on the total length of the catheter. Each lumen leads, at the distal tip of the catheter, to a distinct hole. At the proximal end, the lumens of the catheter are connected to extension tubes of different lengths. Each extension tube includes a different coloured hub and is marked “Distal”, “Medial”, and “Proximal” so as to identify easily the different infusion lines.
Multicath3 expert UP is available in 4 lengths: 12.5cm (code 8155.072), 16cm (code 8155.172), 20cm (code 8155.272), or 30cm (code 8155.372).
It is presented in a rigid blister pack containing: 
  • 1 polyurethane catheter (totally radiopaque) with fixation wings and centimetric graduations from 9cm from distal tip. Smooth distal end,
  • 1 safety needle (Seldisafe) 18G, 70mm, to avoid needlestick injuries,
  • 1 safety scalpel,
  • 1 BLS valve (Blood Less System) on the Seldisafe to limit blood loss and air embolism,
  • 1 adaptor for pressure transducer,
  • 1 Teflon-coated "J" Nitinol guidewire (particularly kink-resistant) with guide-advancer,
  • 1 dilator 8Fr / Length: 100mm,
  • 3 blind hub caps,
  • 1 5ml syringe, 
  • 1 supplementary fixation wing for 16, 20, and 30cm catheters,
  • 1 ECG cable (combcard) for 16, 20, and 30cm catheters.

Multicath3 expert UP catheters contain photo reactive silver compounds. To protect the catheters from the light, they are delivered with a blind sheath.
