Safe-T-Centesis pigtail catheter drainage system
The Safe-T-Centesis drainage system is designed to help clinicians address the risks associated with percutaneous needle
placements and enhance procedural flexibility.
Promote safe procedures
The device’s combination of unique features helps provide patient protection from perforations and clinician protection from
needlestick injuries.
Realize efficiency and procedural flexibility
The Safe-T-Centesis device can be used for both thoracentesis and paracentesis procedures using manual drainage, vacuum
bottles or wall suction. The device is available in a wide variety of trays and kits for convenience and procedural flexibility.
The self-sealing valve features:
• A closed system to help minimize the risk of pneumothorax or leakage
• Resealing membrane within the valve system to allow the safety introducer needle
assembly to be reinserted (for procedures not requiring maintenance of a
closed system).
• Compatibility with 0.035 and 0.038 guidewires to clear occlusions (for procedures not
requiring maintenance of a closed system).

Veress
™
technology with visual color indicator
The color change indicator transitions from Safe-White to
Caution-Red when anatomical contact is made. The blunted
obturator automatically retracts upon contacting an
anatomical structure, exposing the sharp distal tip.
Prior to initial anatomical contact or when the distal tip of the
device clears an anatomical obstruction, the spring-loaded
obturator automatically advances forward. The color-change
indicator confirms Safe-White when the blunted obturator
extends over the sharp distal tip.
Pigtail catheter
Is designed with four
strategically placed ports
on the inside apex to help
prevent occlusion.
Veress technology
dual-lumen
blunt obturator
Helps provide patient
protection from
perforations and helps
protect users from
needlestick injuries.
Silicone coating
Is designed to allow smooth percutaneous insertion
while minimizing potential “accordion” effect and
helping to reduce tissue trauma.
Minimally invasive
6 Fr or 8 Fr size
Remote stopcock
Is designed to aid procedural convenience
and safety by facilitating connection to
drainage/extension sets while minimizing
inadvertent device or catheter movement.
Centimeter depth markings
Provide reliable reference to aid safe
catheter placement.

Echogenic needle
Prior to device assembly, the sharp needle tip cannot be exposed, providing additional needlestick protection.
