| Slit valve allows for infusion but not aspiration. Reduces occlusions - slits remain closed until positive infusion pressure applied. Closed end prevents in- gestion of intestinal contents. | Unique one way valve prevents occlusion of tip. Valve remains in the closed position until positive infusion pressure is applied on either the vascular acces port on external luer connection. | Increased area is able to be perfused at one time due to numerous per fusion holes. This design is also available with a closed end. |
Ordering Information
To request an intestinal catheter for a vascular access port, use the above catalog numbers for the gastro-intes- tinal catheter in place of the catheter size and the port model you prefer.
Examples: The catalog number CP4AC-7IGSS indicates a medium titanium ClearPort with a 7 French silicone closed end slit valve catheter. The catalog number 9IGBS indicates a 9 French silicone Burp Valve catheter without a port.
The Burp Valve ramains closed until positive pressure is exerted on the cartheter. This prevents the aspiration of intestinal contents into the catheter lumen.
The Open End Intra-Gastric catheter with side perfusion holes minimizes the complication of catheter occlusion by offering a larger surface area for perfusion.
