January 19 2021 - 6:30AM
Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX) continues to deliver COMPLETE
confidence with the release of the Arrow® ErgoPack® Complete
Multi-Lumen Access Catheter (MAC) System and the Arrow® ErgoPack®
Complete Percutaneous Sheath Introducer (PSI) System.
The release of the ErgoPack® Complete MAC and PSI Systems
follows the release of the Arrow® ErgoPack® Complete CVC System in
October 2020.
Teleflex conducted extensive research with industry-leading
vascular access professionals to select the enhancements in the new
ErgoPack® Complete MAC and PSI Systems. Clinician-inspired updates
to the kit include:
- The Arrow® GlideWheel™ Advancer,
designed for tactile feedback and finer control
- Nitinol Guidewire, which is
kink-resistant compared to stainless steel
- Transducer Cover to support
guidelines for ultrasound use
- Pre-filled sterile saline syringes
inside the kit
- Extra ChloraPrep® Skin Prep in each
kit (two total)
“We’re proud to bring the clinician-focused enhancements of the
ErgoPack® Complete System to our trusted MAC and PSI vascular
access portfolios,” said Jake Newman, Group President, Teleflex
Interventional and Vascular. “We’re committed to finding new
customer-inspired ways to deliver proven solutions that reduce
catheter-related complications for patients and the providers that
serve them.”
These new additions enhance the already-considerable power of
the ErgoPack® System, which feature, at its heart, Teleflex’s
Arrowg+ard Blue® MAC and PSI catheters.
High-flow Arrow® MAC Catheters are designed to meet the needs of
a variety of patient types – from trauma to cardiac - and offer
full-spectrum antimicrobial protection against gram-positive, and
gram-negative bacteria and fungi, the key infectious pathogens
responsible for CLABSI. Arrow® PSI Catheters are designed to
provide antimicrobial protection and optimal access for hemodynamic
monitoring.
The ErgoPack® Complete System’s unique combination of MAC and
PSI insertion components, packaged in an ergonomic and efficient
top down, left to right configuration, helps central line inserters
comply with critical third party independent guidelines for
reducing CLABSI, including:
- Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) Category 1A & 1B recommendations1
- Society for Hospital Epidemiology of
America (SHEA) Guidelines2
- Infusion Nursing Society (INS)
Standards of Practice3
- Occupational Health and Safety
Administration (OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogens Standard4
The ErgoPack® Complete MAC and PSI Systems are available in two
different configurations, in a variety of catheter French
sizes.
