From surgery to recovery, ClotStop Catheter provides:
Exclusively available in Europe.
The ClotStop® catheters are made of silicone, which ensures easy and safe placement in the thorax. The pleasantly soft material enables the patient to move freely, promoting patient comfort. Using ClotStop® encourages enhanced patient's safety and recovery.
The innovative ClotStop® coating is an innovative hydrogel polymer. This is not an anticoagulant and is medically safe as it does not affect natural blood clotting. In contact with water, it creates such a low coefficient of friction that clots and exudate cannot adhere to the catheter surface. This ultra-smooth coating prevents tissue encrustation, minimises the risk of clot formation and thus prevents occlusion of the catheter thus promoting continuous fluid drainage and reducing the need for continual milking.²
Special mediastinal catheters with large internal area and special design optimize the flow rate of the drain and minimize pressure on the heart, coronary arteries and grafts.
Thoracic round silicone drains
The ClotStop® coated round drains provide many advantages for a variety of applications. Their beveled tips ensure easy insertion and prevent tissue invagination. The round silicone drains are available with scale and in two designs: straight & right angle. Sizes range from 8 Fr to 36 Fr.
Mediastinal drains
Special mediastinal drains with large internal area and special design optimise the flow rate of the drain and minimise pressure on the heart, coronary arteries and grafts. The innovative ClotStop® coating helps to minimise the risk of clot formation and thus prevents occlusion of the catheter.
