Using innovative retrograde tunneling to facilitate insertion, the Pourchez RetrO® catheter can be placed more precisely in the right atrium for maximum flow rate and minimal recirculation. The catheter's hubless design optimizes the flow path along the entire length of the catheter, maximizing flow while reducing turbulence and clotting potential.

The Pourchez RetrO® is available in six different lengths: 24 cm, 28 cm, 32 cm, 36 cm, 40 cm and 55 cm. Additionally, the proximal pigtails may be cut to any of four different lengths to suit patient anatomy and increase comfort. The RetrO® may be inserted either using a custom designed peel away sheath or via the unique SafeTrac® Dual Wire Insertion Kit. SafeTrac® significantly reduces the potential for problems associated with sheath/dilator insertion, such as air embolism, vessel trauma, and excess bleeding. An available repair kit provides a convenient, easy method to repair catheter access connections
