One-Step™ Centesis Catheters

The One-Step centesis catheter has a low profile, tapered tip and smooth transitions to decrease resistance for less patient discomfort. Its echo-enhanced needle allows for more accurate placement, while the four large drainage holes spiral around the catheter for maximum drainage.

Up to 34% LESS catheter tip penetration force and up to 16% FASTER flow rate

Safe, controlled insertion with decreased procedure times.

The valved One-Step centesis catheter is designed with an integrated self-sealing valve to minimize the risk of air entering the pleural  space.

Pigtail shape reduces drainage hole occlusion

Distal obturator
prevents catheter puncture and shearing and accidental needlestick

Large holes
increase flow rates to decrease procedure times

Depth markers and
echo-enhanced needle for fast and accurate positioning

Self-closing valve
prevents air infiltration and fluid leakage

Kink-resistant material
keeps catheter open to help maximize drainage

Sharp needle and smooth transitions
for ease of insertion and decreased patient discomfort
