Functions and advantages
Veress™ technology
- The springy, blunt obturator protrudes above the sharp, distal tip of the puncture needle.
- A color change indicator from white to red shows when the sharp, distal tip is exposed.
- This protects the patient from perforations and the user from needlestick injuries.
Self-closing valve
- Ensures a closed system after the puncture needle is removed.
- Effusion cannot flow out in an uncontrolled manner or air cannot be aspirated accidentally.
- The puncture needle can be repositioned if necessary.
- A hose bypass with three-way stopcock enables connection to a Pneu-Pack II Art. No. P7899 or with an in-house suction system for drainage.
Pigtail catheter
- Self-aligning and resistant to occlusion.
- Silicone coating ensures easy percutaneous insertion, minimizes the possible "accordion effect" and reduces tissue trauma.
- Centimeter depth marking enables precise catheter placement (catheter length of 160 mm).
- the Luer-Lock connection allows easy removal of the pigtail catheter from the valve device.
