Tip location devices are proving to be extremely useful in ambulatory surgical centers, catheterization labs, and hospitals
The peripheral tip location devices
for catheters are the latest innovation with a host of potential advantages
over existing catheter types. These devices are placed in the body of the
person to be treated and offer immediate relief from urinary tract infections.
The tip area of these devices is very small and can be used for precision
puncture of delicate areas, which are not easily reached by a conventional
catheter. Although they are the smallest and simplest of all catheter types,
they offer a wide range of advantages over other catheters for two main
reasons. First, peripheral tip units are faster than any other type of catheter.
Second, they offer greater ease of administration, which means that more
patients can be treated at once, using a single unit.
There are several types of single
peripheral device devices that can be used to perform a variety of functions.
However, the most common of these types is a magnetic tracking device, which
provides instant magnetic readings as soon as the catheter is inserted into the
body of the patient. Unlike the other devices listed above, this one does not
require any other equipment to provide its diagnostic results. It can also
perform intravascular Doppler studies very quickly and reliably as well as
blood gas analysis.
In the future, the single tip
location devices will probably replace the traditional annual and
fixed-length probes. The reasons for this are many. For one thing, it is now
known that the majority of urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria
rather than disease-causing organisms such as virus infections and urinary
blockages. Therefore, if the accuracy of the single-use pulse oximeter tipped
probe can be improved, there is every chance that urinary tract infection and
its resulting complications can be avoided. As is currently evident, this
future outlook is promising indeed. Recently, in September 2019, TeleFlex Inc.
launched its peripheral intervention product portfolio at the Cardiovascular
and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe conference.
