The ARS™ Enhanced needle brings several features specifically implemented to address needs identified in the data. These features include an Improved Needle Tip, Fenestrated Catheter, Centimeter Graduated Catheter, and a Flexible Catheter Design. Read More
• Features an improved needle tip design with “scalpel” sharp, bi-bevel, tapered needle tip, which improves penetration control through tissue of varied type and thickness.
• The new fenestrated catheter delivers statistically significant improvement for tension relief and the prevention of distal catheter occlusion when compared to traditional non-fenestrated catheters. The three fenestrations, combined with the catheter tip, deliver four paths for air to escape.
• Centimeter graduated catheter for safer placement utilizing “thoracic depth control”. Evidence and anecdotal experiences continue to strongly suggest the need for insertion CONTROL with needle decompression.
• The flexible catheter is designed to decrease incidence of catheter kinking.
