Arterial Leadercath – PTFE

Arterial leadercath are single lumen polytetrafluoroethylene radio-opaque arterial catheters.
These catheters are introduced by a classic Seldinger technique.
They are indicated for a short term therapy up to 30 days for new born (>3.5kg), child and adult arterial catheterization to perform invasive continuous arterial pressure measurement or to allow repeated arterial blood sampling.
Common insertion sites are the radial, brachial, and femoral arteries. Less frequently used insertion sites are the ulnar, axillary, posterior tibial, and dorsal pedis arteries.
