Safe-T-Centesis®

catheter drainage system

Innovations in patient safety, clinician safety
and procedural efficacy.
Safe-T-Centesis® catheter drainage system
This innovative drainage system is designed to reduce the risks associated with normal percutaneous needle placements and enhance
patient comfort and procedural flexibility.

Self-sealing valve
Maintains closed system or allows for reinsertion of
introducer needle or guide wire for procedures not
requiring maintenance of a closed system.

Remote stopcock
Provides procedural convenience and
safety by facilitating connection to
drainage/extension sets while minimizing
Visual color indicator inadvertent device or catheter movement.
Transitions to red when sharp distal tip
is exposed and returns to “Safe-White”
when spring-loaded obturator is
automatically extended, presenting
an atraumatic front to injury.
Catheter modularity
For procedures not requiring maintenance of a closed
system, the luer lock connection allows convenient
Silicone coating removal of pigtail catheter from valve assembly.
Allows for smooth percutaneous insertion while
minimizing potential for “accordion” effect and
reducing tissue trauma.
