CENTRAL VENOUS ACCESS

Revolutionizing the Science of Antimicrobial Protection: The first Central Venous Catheterwith an integrated antimicrobial

VANTEX CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETERS

Revolutionary antimicrobial material

•Extruded from polyurethane, combined with the natural elements silver, carbon and platinum

• Releases silver ions from the device material, whichkills colonizing bacteria on both inner and outercatheter surfaces

• Integral to the polymer of the catheter, the Oligonagent is not a coating that could wash away

Clinical Results

• Significantly reduced the catheter colonization ratein a prospective randomized trial at ten institutionsversus a standard catheter

• Reduced catheter-related infection rates by 48% in a second study when substituted for an alternative antimicrobial catheter

Include traditional Edwards Lifesciences CVC benefits

• Allow easy CVC insertion with single-handedguidewire insertion device

• Infuse fluids up to 77% faster than with competingCVCs, due to optimized lumen and backform design

• Minimize needlestick risks with Interlink injection caps

• Optional heparin coating available

MULTI-MED CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETERS

Multi-Med central venous catheters are avialble in three different configurations: catheter only, basic set, and expanded kit.

Designed for Optimal Flow from "Hub to Tip"

Double Protection Against Infection

Reduce the risk of catheter-related infection with Edwards AMC THROMBOSHIELD (an antimicrobial heparin coating)
