Non-Kinking Vascular Catheter for Patient Safety
Meaningful Improvements
- For exceptionally precise drug and infusion flow, seamlessly integrated with high-precision syringe pumps
- For uninterrupted drug flow during critical anesthesia procedures such as Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) and Target Controlled Infusion (TCI)
- For repeated needle-free blood draws through existing vascular catheters; no need for additional devices
- Supports the use of longer vascular catheters for deep vein access, expanding the range of medical procedures
- Developed through a need-driven approach, considering manufacturability and scalability
Even in modern medicine, catheters are regularly kinking. This can lead to life-threatening complications. Kinking tubes would be unthinkable in other application areas.
The consequences of kinked catheters can be severe, including circulatory collapse due to the sudden interruption of vital circulatory support drugs. Patients may unexpectedly wake up during surgery when sleep-inducing drug administration ceases. While syringe pump alarms offer partial protection against these complications, identifying the specific cause of the alarm can be time-consuming.
Furthermore, when a kink is resolved in a vascular catheter, the patient may experience an uncontrolled drug boost, potentially leading to overdosing and associated complications. Ironically, even with high-precision syringe pumps, the use of kinkable vascular catheters remains prevalent, compromising patient safety.
Ebnet Medical has submitted a patent application for a non-kinking vascular catheter to significantly increase patient safety. Further own patent applications also address this topic.
Currently under development, not yet cleared for commercial distribution. For multiple future benefits and highly relevant study endpoints. A positive correlation between technical features and beneficial outcomes has to be shown.
