EpiFaith® CV
The EpiFaith® CV by Flat Medical is a single-use, pressure-indicating syringe designed to enhance the safety and accuracy of central venous catheterization procedures. By providing real-time visual feedback, it assists clinicians in distinguishing between venous and arterial punctures, thereby reducing the risk of complications during central line placements.
Key Features:
• Auto-Aspiration Mechanism: The built-in auto-aspiration feature allows for continuous negative pressure during needle advancement, facilitating hands-free blood aspiration and enabling clinicians to focus on precise needle control.
• Pressure Detection with Visual Indicator: EpiFaith® CV is equipped with a pressure-detecting mechanism that provides a visual cue when the needle encounters a vessel with pressure exceeding 50 mmHg, effectively distinguishing arterial from venous punctures.
• Direct Guidewire Insertion: The device is designed to facilitate direct guidewire insertion through the syringe, streamlining the catheterization process and minimizing the risk of needle dislodgement during guidewire placement.
• Compatibility: EpiFaith® CV is compatible with 18G needles and guidewires ranging from 0.025” (0.64 mm) to 0.038” (0.96 mm) in diameter, ensuring versatility across various central venous catheterization procedures.
Applications:
• Central Venous Catheterization: Enhances the safety and efficiency of central line placements by providing real-time feedback on vessel entry, thereby reducing the risk of arterial puncture and associated complications.
• Critical Care Procedures: Assists in the accurate placement of central venous catheters in critical care settings, where timely and precise vascular access is essential.
Incorporating the EpiFaith® CV into clinical practice can improve patient safety and clinician confidence during central venous catheterization procedures. Its innovative design and user-friendly features make it a valuable tool for healthcare providers aiming to enhance procedural accuracy and reduce complications.
