MORE CERTAINTY, MORE SAFETY, MORE SUCCESS

Kink-proof guide wire� Highly fl exible and resilient guide wire made

out of Nitinol, with length markings� Flexibility without compromising stability. The guide wire

can be easily advanced even through venous obstructions� “J” and straight tip combined in one guide wire, depending

on which end you use

... devices for safe and successful central venous catheter placement

Puncture needle� Easy cannulation of the vein either

with standard Seldinger needle (S) or with Valve needle (V)

� Quick, blood-free introduction of the guide wire via the side port adapter of the valve needle

� Smart geometry for easy handling independent of chosen puncture needle

Valve needle (V)

Seldinger needle (S)“J” tip & Soft tip

Safsite® valve� Simplifi es the daily changing of the

infusion system on central venous catheters and improves hygiene

� The air-tight valve guarantees a closed system with every disconnection of syringe or infusion line to avoid air embolism

� Allows infusion and blood withdrawal without fl ow restriction

Soft tip / “J” tip� The special tip material (PUR) is more

pliant and softer than the catheter body� Protection of the intima in case

of contact with the vessel wall� Optimal surface with exceptional

gliding features

Puncturing with ultrasoundUltrasound application for positioning of intravenous cathetersis recommended in international guidelines. It enhances safety in anatomical investigation and puncturing. When using the ultrasound probe, sterility and the correct dimensions of the equipment are important factors.

Puncturing with direct visual controlThe Certofi x® Seldinger needle and anatomical structure have good visibility using either the out-of-plane (transversal) and the in-plane (sagittal) method.

ECG-lead technique� Enables immediate corrective measures,

if the initial positioning of the catheter tip was too deep

� Helps to prevent subsequent complications, particularly the risk of pericardial perforation

Certofi x®

Anti-pathogenic Certofi x® protect cathetersThe patented combination of an antimicrobial agent (poly-hexanide) and an athrombogenic chemical group (polyethylene glycol and polymethacrylate) creates a catheter surface with ex-cellent anti-pathogenic characteristics. The adhesion of bacteria, which is normally the starting point of a catheter-related bloodstream infection, is eff ectively pre-vented. In addition, a high concentration of hydrophilic groups lowers the risk of thrombus aggregation on the catheter surface.

User benefits�� Non-leaching – no active agents are released, thereby avoiding adverse systemic reactions�� Hydrophilic catheter surface for proven reduction in thrombosis formation�� The same excellent flexibility as all Certofix® catheters�� Complete catheter surface coverage – from tip to hub on the inner surface, from tip to channel junction on the outer surface

The functional principle of Certofix® protectThe polarization of the Certofix® protect catheter material destroys the cell wall structure of microorganisms in the event of surface contact. Ongoing chemical interaction between the catheter material (PUR) and a biguanide agent ensures long-term protection without leaching effect. Certofix® protect prevents catheter-related infections during the entire application period.

Long-term protectionEven after weeks, the Certofi x® protect catheter material exhibits an eff ective level of protection against catheter colonization. After 30 days,Certofi x® protect still shows an effi cacy of 75 %.

Certofi x® SafetyIncreased safety for users

A broad variety of puncture needles and scalpels for incisions are used. The operating space and sterility during catheter application often complicates the immediate disposal of such sharp instruments. With Certofix® Safety, B. Braun is enhancing its product portfolio for safe venous access.

The Seldinger puncture needle has an active safety mechanism. The safety clip surrounds the needle tip as soon as the needle is withdrawn, so medical personnel are well protected during oper-ation and disposal.

User benefits�� The design of safety mechanisms is not affecting the application procedure of central venous catheter placement�� All components needed for safe catheter place-ment – a safety Seldinger needle and a safety scalpel with sharps injury protection mechanisms

During application, the plastic housing with safety clip is located next to the needle hub. Once the guide wire has been placed in its desired position, the safety clip, covered by the hub, has to be forwarded onto skin level. While simultaneously activating the safety mechanism, the needle is withdrawn with the index finger.

After the protective cover has been removed, the scalpel is moved forwardwith the help of the green button until it snaps into place. After the incision it can be pushed back.

Seldinger Needle Safety

Puncture needle with active safety mechanism to protect against needle stick injuries. The integrated clip does not affect the puncturing procedure and can be activated single-handedly.

Safety Scalpel

Stable, easy-to-use safety scalpel with safety mechanism.

It is possible to activate the clip, while the cannula is guided over the guide wire. When the tip of the needle is reached, the safety clip activates automatically and covers the needle tip completely.

Before the blade is finally secured, the scalpel can be held in a “parking position“ enabling it to be handed over to other medical personnel.

Once the needle has been completely pulled back behind the wire, the safety clip envelops the tip irreversibly. The needle and the plastic hub can now be disposed of in the usual manner.

III

Once the blade has been fully withdrawn to the end of the press-button function, the safety mechanism activates. The scalpel can now be safely discarded.
