Polyurethane has supplanted silicone as the material of choice for chronic vascular access because of its ease of insertion, durability and biocompatibility. Unless otherwise indicated, standard PU SoloCath™ catheters are clear with rounded tips, two moveable suture bulbs and attachment sleeve; no depth markings. In addition to the standard configurations, PU catheters can be customized.
The new WhiteTip™ catheter features a soft polyurethane tip. Human and animal studies have shown that soft round catheter tips result in improved patency. Furthermore, the tip can be viewed under radiographic imaging to confirm proper placement.
