The closed tip, multi-port catheter provides kink resistance and features a flexible tip with four lateral holes, according to a company release. The coil-reinforced catheter material is constructed of polyurethane and was designed using the same technology of the Teleflex’s open tip, single-port catheter, which has shown to reduce complications such as vein cannulations and paresthesia.

“Teleflex is adding the FlexTip Plus Closed Tip, Multi-Port to the Arrow catheter family to continue to support physicians with products that address the concerns anesthesiologists face on a daily basis,” said Cary Vance, President, Teleflex Anesthesia and Respiratory. “The FlexTip Plus Closed Tip, Multi-Port is based on proven technology, helping anesthesiologists achieve the drug dispersion they prefer with the quality of care they demand for their patients.”
