- Teleflex ( NYSE: TFX ) said it launched new Arrow VPS Rhythm DLX Device and NaviCurve Stylet in the U.S. for use during PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) insertion procedures.
- The company added that the devices are intended to work together to give vascular access specialists more efficient and predictable PICC placement.
- The next-generation VPS Rhythm DLX Device provides real-time catheter tip location information by using the patient's cardiac electrical activity.
- Meanwhile, the VPS Rhythm DLX Device with TipTracker technology eliminates the need for a confirmatory x-ray, helping the clinician insert via ultrasound vessel assessment, PICC navigation, to final tip confirmation in the lower third of the superior vena cava, according to the company.
- "The introduction of our new positioning device and enhanced catheter design complement our proprietary Arrowg+ard Blue Advance PICC antimicrobial and antithrombogenic protection that reduces thrombus accumulation and the primary pathogens responsible for most healthcare associated infections," said Lisa Kudlacz, president and general manager, Vascular at Teleflex.
