AngioDynamics debuts triple lumen catheter for CT imaging

AngioDynamics has launched the first member of its new generation of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) for procedures involving the use of CT contrast media, the Morpheus Smart PICC triple lumen CT PICC.

According to the company, the Smart Taper catheter technology allows the catheter to taper from a seven French diameter to a six French diameter.

The new PICC has three tubular channels, or lumens, which allow practitioners to administer medications via power injections of contrast media for CT imaging using one PICC line, the Albany, N.Y.-based AngioDynamics said.
