Multicath 3 is a XRO polyurethane central venous catheter introduced by Seldinger technique.

It consists of 3 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” and “Proximal” so as to identify easily the different infusion lines.

It is presented in a rigid blister pack containing:

• 1 polyurethane catheter (totally radiopaque) with fixation wings and centimetric graduations from 9cm from distal tip.
• 1 puncture needle 18G, 70mm,
• 1 scalpel,
• 1 “J” Nitinol guidewire (particularly kink-resistant) with guide-advancer,
• 1 dilator,
• 3 caps,
• 1 5ml syringe,
• 1 supplementary fixation wing for 16, 20, and 30cm catheters.
