Despite the best efforts of healthcare providers to eliminate central line–associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs), the goal of zero infections has been elusive. Now there's a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) that is chlorhexidine-treated, both inside and out. Chlorag+ard technology provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection against bacteria, such as MRSA,* VRE,* Staphylococcus epidermidis, Candida albicans and Acinetobacter baumannii.1
ArrowEVOLUTION: the highly evolved PICC
Roll over the circles below to display each description.
Non-tapered catheter design
With a non-tapered catheter body design, the ArrowEVOLUTION pressure-injectable PICC provides a solution for the clinicians who need to know that the French size of their PICC does not vary from tip to hub
The smallest acceptable catheter diameter should be used to decrease the incidence of venous thrombosis2
Pressure-Injectable PICC
Pressure injection capabilities are marked on the extension line hubs as each lumen's maximum flow rate, offering a clear understanding of the catheter's capabilities and performance parameters
Blue Flex Tip®
The soft tip is designed to minimize vessel trauma and enhance maneuverability, as well as to provide visual confirmation of removal
Staggered exit sites
Designed to reduce the risk of incompatible medications mixing and forming precipitate, which may result in occlusion when using trimmed catheters
Highly radiopaque
Provides clear visualization under fluoroscopy and x-ray
