Umbili-Cath™ Umbilical Vascular Access Catheters

Umbili-Cath™ is an umbilical vessel catheter (UVC) specially designed for ease of insertion, patient safety, and comfort during neonatal vascular access.

Utah Medical's Gesco™ Umbili-Cath™ single, dual and triple lumen umbilical vein/artery catheters (UVC) allow continuous pressure monitoring while administering medications, volume expanders and antibiotics. Preferred by more clinicians, Gesco™ umbilical vascular access catheters are specially designed for ease of insertion, patient safety and comfort.

All Umbili-Cath™ feature:

• Soft rounded tips to reduce perforation risks during placement.
• Soft rounded end holes to facilitate better fluid clearing.
• Full numbered depth markings from 1 cm to hub for more accurate placement.
• "Zero dead space" Luer locking hub.
• Barium sulfate-loaded catheter provides radiopacity.
• Available in silicone or Tecoflex® polyurethane.

UMBILI-CATH™ SILICONE VASCULAR ACCESS CATHETERS

Outstanding Clinical Features
1. Ultimate biocompatible material - no plasticizers.
2. Resilient soft and unlike all other materials. Non-irritating to vessel walls to avoid phlebitis.
3. Non-reactive to body tissues and body fluids, providing long-term product stability.
4. Does not support bacterial growth.
5. Non-thrombogenic - resists encrustation.
6. Does not adhere to tissues - allows easy removal and avoids necrosis of injured cells.

UMBILI-CATH™ POLYURETHANE VASCULAR ACCESS CATHETERS

Outstanding Clinical Features
1. Made with Tecoflex® an advanced formulation of polyurethane.
2. Thermosensitive - softens at body temperature such that physical characteristics emulate silicone after placement.
3. Slightly stiffer than silicone - easier to insert.
4. Allows crisp arterial waveform.
5. Higher tensile strength and less catheter elongation to provide more resistance to breaking if catheter is nicked.
6. Supports triple-lumen patency in a small diameter catheter.

GENERAL PROCEDURE CATHETERIZATION TRAYS

Utah Medical's general procedure trays contain all instruments and materials for umbilical vessel catheterization. The components are packaged in a double-decked tray, with drapes, towels, suture, umbilical tape, and skin prep materials in the top level; syringes and instruments are organized in the bottom. The fenestrated drape is fitted with double-backed tape to keep it secure on the patient. The drape is also "slit" from the fenestration to the edge of the drape so that it can be easily removed. The high-quality disposable instruments included in the kits are made of stainless steel. A disposable tray eliminates the risks associated with cross-contamination, and ensures that all instruments are sharp and accurately aligned.
