Introducing the highflow multicath UP range
The multicath UP range of highflow catheters are dedicated to patients experiencing imminent blood loss
associated with accident, major surgery or for those in intensive care with multiple injuries or sepsis.
This close-up focus on the multicath UP kits highlights the key features of the multicath UP range:
• Catheter with or without silver ion-incorporated polyurethane
• Choice of catheter lengths from 12.5cm to 20cm seldisafe® safety needles with optimised, echogenic properties
• Anti-kink Teflon-coated nitinol safety J guide wire with additional ECG marking and single-hand introduction
• ECG cable combcard® for accurate catheter tip location
• Safety scalpel
• Universal IV dead end caps
• Fixation wing
• Syringe, 5ml
• Dilator.
Multicath Highflow UP is a radiopaque multi-lumen central venous catheter, which is designed to be inserted in to the deep veins (jugular, subclavian, femoral etc) using the Seldinger technique. Each lumen leads to an individual exit hole along the distal section of the catheter within 42mm of the catheter tip. At the proximal end, the three lumen are connected to extension tubes of different lengths. Each tube is marked “Distal”, “Medial” or “Proximal” and includes coloured hubs to instantly identify the different lines.
