CIMPAX® C-CAT
Wound infiltration catheter for pain management for Luer connections

The CIMPAX® C-CAT Anaesthesia Catheter is a multi-perforated catheter supplied in a kit, which also includes standard material for applying the catheter. The drug infusion segment is placed between the blue tip of the catheter and the first blue marking after the tip. The holes of the catheter are placed in a spiral pattern to provide 360° drug distribution. 

Attached on the catheter is a standard female luer lock connector.The connector is compatible and can be used with infusion pumps as well as with syringes for bolus injections with standard male luer connections. Due to its unique design the C-CAT Catheter offers minimal flow resistance and does not restrict or reduce flow when used with specified pump flow rates up to 250ml/hour. 

The CIMPAX® C-CAT Anaesthesia Catheter is a single use device.
