“This not only marks the first product to launch in our new Morpheus Smart PICC line, as a triple lumen it complements our existing offerings and ensures we can meet the full range of physicians’ needs,” said Robert Rossell, Senior Vice President and General Manager for AngioDynamics’ Vascular Access Business Unit.
The product features the key benefits of AngioDynamics’ new Morpheus Smart PICC generation of products, Smart Taper™ catheter technology and a minimally-invasive design.
The Smart Taper technology allows the catheter to quickly taper from a seven French diameter to a precise six French diameter, improving blood flow and reducing the risk of thrombosis. The PICC’s catheter shaft technology couples the pushability needed for PICC placement with pliability that minimizes the risk of vessel trauma and phlebitis.
The new PICC has three distinct tubular channels, or lumens, which give practitioners increased flexibility to administer medications simultaneously and perform power injections of contrast media for CT imaging using a single PICC line.
