Groshong Catheter - Catheterization kit, central venous

Intended purpose

Groshong long-term catheters are intended for long-term vascular access and for use in patients that lack adequate peripheral venous access. They are designed for the administration of I.V. fluids, blood products, drugs, and parenteral nutrition solutions, as well as blood withdrawal.

Functional description

Groshong catheters consist of soft, medical grade silicone tubing with a closed rounded tip and is supplied in a tray. Unlike open-ended catheters, the closed end has a patented three-position valve (or valves) which allows liquids to flow in or out, but remains closed when not in use.
