Developed to provide multiple clinical benefits, the advanced split-tip Decathlon™ catheter combines excellent hemodialysis performance, multiple insertion options and biocompatible Carbothane® material. Its innovative rounded bevel tip design doesn’t taper, providing significant flow capability with low arterial pressure, while its maximum middle wall septum size and strength reduce kinking potential.

Decathlon’s separated tips increase the margin of functionality and reduce recirculation. The tip design permits either over-the-wire or standard round peel-away sheath insertion.

Kink-Resistant

Superior materials and design result in a Kink-Resistant catheter. More»

The Decathlon’s combination of superior design and features ensures optimum performance and insertion preference flexibility:

• Optimally separated tips with side holes increase margin of functionality while reducing recirculation and occlusion potential
• 15.5 Fr double ”D” lumenal design combines significant flow capability with low arterial pressure
• Superior middle wall septum size and strength resists side wall collapse under pressure and significantly reduces kinking potential associated with other polyurethane catheters
• Optimized rounded bevel tips allow minimal hemolysis and recirculation, and increased hemodynamic flow at lower pressures; facilitate over-the-wire insertion via the weave; and permit maximum arterial blood flow in case of tip-to-vessel wall contact
• Carbothane® material is compatible with a wide range of cleaning solutions

The Decathlon catheter is available in six different lengths: 24 cm, 28 cm, 32 cm, 36 cm, 40 cm and 55 cm . Kit contains Decathlon catheter, 18 gauge introducer needle, 12cc syringe, J/straight 0.038 inch guidewire, 12 Fr and 14 Fr dilators, 16 Fr peel-away sheath dilator, tunneling stylet, 12 cc syringe, #11 scalpel, tunneler, 4 gauze sponges, wound dressing, 2 injection sealing caps and warning label (latex free).
