Safe-T-Centesis
®
catheter drainage system
Pigtail catheter
• Pigtail shape for secure placement and
anatomically assisted self-direction
• Occlusion-resistant, with four ports
strategically placed on inside apex
of pigtail
• Silicone coated for smooth insertion and
minimal potential for “accordion” effect
Self-sealing valve
• Closed system for minimized risk of
pneumothorax or leakage
• The resealing membrane within the
valve system allows the safety introducer
needle assembly to be reinserted
(for procedures not requiring maintenance
of a closed system)
• Compatible with 0.035 and 0.038 guide
wires to clear occlusions or expand
your procedural capabilities beyond the
percutaneous realm
(for procedures not requiring maintenance
of a closed system)
Veress technology with
visual color indicator
Diagram A
1. The color change indicator confirms “Safe-White”
when the blunted obturator is extended over the
sharp distal tip.
2. Prior to initial anatomical contact or when the distal
tip of the device clears an anatomical obstruction or
enters a free cavity, the spring-loaded obturator will
automatically advance forward, providing protection
against patient injury.
Diagram B
3. The color change indicator informs the user of
anatomical contact by transitioning from “Safe-White”
to “Caution-Red.”
4. The blunted obturator automatically retracts upon
contact with an anatomical structure, exposing the
sharp distal tip and allowing needle advancement.
Innovations for patient safety and procedural efficacy
Our combination of unique features provides patient protection from perforations and clinician
protection from needlestick injuries.
