PICC-Nate® Peripheral Vascular Access Catheters

PICC-Nate® is a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) specially designed to avoid irritating the baby’s delicate tissues during neonatal vascular access.

PICC-Nate® Vascular Access Catheters and Introducers are specifically designed to minimize trauma to the neonatal patient and are available in a variety of kit configurations, in "Basic" or "Complete" pre-assembled procedure trays.

• Slender, low-profile hub reduces patient discomfort.
• Reinforced hub reduces catheter breakage.
• Accurate catheter positioning accomplished with depth marking at every centimeter.
• Catheter shaft diameters reduced to minimize puncture wound.
• Barium sulfate-loaded catheter body provides radiopacity for flouroscopic visualization.
• Soft, strong silicone shaft material provides "tissue friendly" long-term care.
• Also available in thermosensitive polyurethane which is easier to insert, yet softens after placement.

SUTURE WING DESIGN

The PICC-Nate® body uses a special "suture wing" design that is profiled for ideal hub securement with minimal skin irritation and easy site maintenance.

EXTENDED HUB

The extended hub option provides convenient clinician access, eliminates the need for extension sets, is easy to keep clean, and minimizes skin irritation.

PEEL-AWAY INTRODUCERS

PICC-Nate® is available with a "peel-away" introducer. Introducers are also available separately.

— "Quick Flashback" cannula indicates immediate verification of vessel penetration.
— Double-beveled needle tips allow precise vessel entry.
— The funneled entry guides PICC introduction.

The New 1.1 Fr PICC-Nate® Catheter

NEW 1.1 FR PICC-NATE® TECOFLEX® POLYURETHANE CATHETERS AND INTRODUCERS

Building on the known reputation of the larger 1.9 and 3.0 Fr PICC-Nate® catheters, the new 1.1 Fr PICC-Nate® (Model PB-1PP) provides all the same benefits clinicians have come to expect from the PICC-Nate® family of catheters and introducers but now in a smaller size. The Tecoflex® thermosensitive polyurethane catheter optimizes flow and allows for safe, prolonged vascular access. The soft catheter utilizes the same suture wing design for ideal securement as the larger PICC-Nate® catheters, and the 26 gauge peel-away introducer is designed for smooth introduction of the catheter to the vein. Fully loaded with barium sulfate for clear visualization on x ray, the 23 cm catheter has markings every centimeter to help ensure proper placement. Designed to minimize trauma, the PICC-Nate® family of catheters, from 1.1 Fr, 1.9 Fr and 3.0 Fr, has a catheter for every unique neonatal need.
