The Valved Safety Centesis Catheter is indicated for the therapeutic aspiration of fluids from body cavities.

The Valved Safety Centesis Catheter is a drainage, centesis catheter with a self sealing valve and a passive safety needle-shielding feature. The catheter is designed with drainage holes located around the distal tip of the catheter to facilitate the drainage of fluid. The catheter surface and tapered end is designed for smooth transition through the tissue, while the inner surface is designed for easy retraction of the insertion needle. The insertion needle comes with a vent plug that allows air to exit and does not allow fluid to exit. The echogenic needle tip provides a guidance for proper catheter placement using ultrasound. The needle hub is clear and locks within the catheter hub. The catheter is radiopaque and can be visualized using fluoroscopy. The hub of the catheter contains a luer adapter to facilitate attachment of drainage collection devices and a bevel indicator for needle bevel orientation reference. The device is provided individually packaged sterile.
