Multistar 4 + is an antimicrobial XRO polyurethane central venous catheter introduced by Seldinger technique.
The antibacterial activity is ensured by two antibiotics: Rifampicin and Miconazole. The active substances are impregnated inside the bulk polyurethane material in order to reduce catheter-related bloodstream infection risks. Rifampicin and Miconazole are released slowly to ensure a long term efficacy.
It consists of 4 lumens completely separated on the total length of the catheter. Each lumen leads, at the distal tip of the catheter, to a distinct hole. At the proximal end, the lumens of the catheter are connected to extension tubes of different lengths. Each extension tube includes a different coloured hub and is marked “Distal”, “Medial 1”, “Medial 2”, and “Proximal” so as to identify easily the different infusion lines.
Multistar 4 + is available in 3 lengths: 16cm (code 6158.167), 20cm (code 6158.207) and 30cm (code 6158.307).
