New Product: Vascu-PICC™ II
============================
  Our New Vascu-PICC™ II has new enhanced features which make it a stronger,
more reliable device while also adding to the patient’s overall comfort.
 
  » TAPER TRANSITION
  The taper design provides superior catheter strength to prevent kinking
		and can be utilized to plug the venotomy site to reduce bleeding. 
 
  » PLIABLE FLAT HUB
  With the re-designed, extended soft wings, the new hub secures catheter
		placement, while providing superior patient comfort. 
 
  » CRACK RESISTANT LUERS
  The ergonomic design ensures greater resistance to cracking or separation. 

  Customized trays are available, as well as the standard configurations
		for nursing trays and IR trays.

Trident™ Triple Lumen PICC
===========================
  This all new catheter is the first of its kind. A triple lumen PICC indicated
to provide antibiotic therapies, pain management drugs, and total parenteral
nutrition. Achieved through two 19 gauge lumens and one larger 18 gauge lumen,
the Trident™ is surprisingly small at only 5FR, providing the patient with less
invasive options for therapy.
 
  » TAPERED TIP
		The Trident™ provides a super soft tapered tip, which is less traumatic to the
		vessel, minimizing vessel erosion, hemothorax, and cardiac tamponade.

  Trident™ catheters are available in the standard configurations for nursing
		trays and IR trays.
