Right atrial placement

Indications

The jugular dual lumen catheter is a single-use dual lumen catheter that provides both venous drainage and reinfusion of blood via the jugular vein. It is indicated for use in pediatric patients with acute respiratory failure requiring veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation where other available treatment options have failed and continued clinical deterioration is expected, or the risk of death is imminent.

Right atrial design

Catheter designed to be placed with tip in the right atrium.

Flexible technique options

Includes an introducer for a percutaneous technique or a blunt-tip obturator for a surgical cutdown technique.

Game-changing flow1

Correct placement made easier2

Radiopaque markers identify drainage sites, reinfusion port, catheter tip, and axial orientation.

Optimized flow rates1

Crescent-shaped lumen and large reinfusion port help optimize pressure flow performance.

Durable securement3

Multiple suture points provide additional stability, reducing the chance of twisting or migration when the patient moves.
