Anicath™ L/A – Long-Term Polyurethane

Long-term indwelling IV catheter, designed specifically for the larger animal where greater volumes of fluid are required and venous access requires further reach.

Using the same familiar, material components of the hub, suture wings and flash bulb you have enjoyed in the standard Anicath™ IV catheter, we have now incorporated the following additional features and materials to help reduce the incidence of cracking catheters, thrombosis and phlebitis associated with inferior catheter materials used for extended periods.

• Two advancement notches on the hub – Aids sturdy advancement

• Small soft fixing wings – allows suturing or taping into position

• Polyurethane Catheter – Suitable for long-term use up to 20 days

• Non-coring, tri-faceted needle bevel with greater wall thickness, 15% stronger than other brands – Reduced risk of bending on insertion

• PUR (Polyurethane) with precision conical catheter material – Anti-kink, espouses to natural vein contours and inner wall surface profile, softens with body temperature for added comfort and flexibility

• Siliconized – Superior glide during insertion and placement

• Hydrophobic blood sealing plug in needle flashback chamber –Allows early visualization of venipuncture

• Trocar locks on to the catheter – Prevents unnecessary rotation of the trocar when advancing the catheter
