SmartPort+
Vascular access devices require a high level of specialization, depending on the patient’s diagnosis and history.
The SmartPort+ from US-based manufacturer AngioDynamics is designed for:
- extended life
- better patient outcomes
- fewer complications
- less nursing time
- lower expenses
Features
- implantable port that combines Vortex and Endexo® technology
- provides long-term access to central-venous systems for blood specimen withdrawal and administration of fluids and medication
- Vortex technology: A round chamber and tangential outlet generate a flushing action to hyper-cleanse the entire chamber. This helps to eliminate dead spaces and prevent build-up thrombus, while reducing the risk of occlusion and infection (1).
- Endexo® technology: A permanent, non-eluting polymer is “blended” into the catheter’s material (polyurethane), including extraluminal, intraluminal, and tip surfaces. This makes the catheter more resistant to thrombus accumulation for the life of the catheter.
- indicated for power injections of contrast media for CT imaging
- superior CT identification
