The multi-port catheter aims to give anesthesia providers more options in drug dispersal during epidural than before.

The FlexTip Plus is coil-reinforced catheter that features a soft closed tip with four lateral holes. The four holes make it a modified version of its predecessor, the FlexTip Plus Single-Port catheter.

According to Teleflex, its catheters have been proven to significantly reduce complications associated with other designs and have higher satisfaction rates.
