Ordering Information
Use the catalog number for the model (GPV or SLA), the catheter configuration (preattached or attachable) French size, material, and tip configuration required.
Example: The catalog number for a GPV with a 5 french rounded tip silicone catheter to be attached during surgery, is GPVAC-5IS. (GPV - Large Plastic Port, AC- attachable catheter, 5IS - 5 french round tip/ Intisil Silicone Catheter) Suture retention beads will be placed on catheters if reque- sted Catheter length will be 24”/60cm unless otherwise spe- cified See further back in this catalog for catheter materials & modifications information. admin@carfil.be
