Dedicated securement device Grip-Lock increases longevity of catheter and improves outcomes.

Seldinger insertion technique decreases incidences of failure and trauma to vein by increasing first stick insertion success.

Thermosensitive Polyurethane material for improved performance and a 29 day dwell time.

22 Ga catheter available in 4cm, 6cm and 8cm lengths for lower arm placement and preservation of upper arm vasculature.

Some of Leaderflex essential features include: Leaderflex EPIV is excellent for antibiotics, for difficult IV access, for hydration or pain medications and reduces the complications associated with peripheral access, i.e.: venous depletion, phlebitis, infiltrations, occlusions, dislodgement and CLABSI infections. No X-Rays or fluro required to confirm tip placement. With a familiar insertion procedure, the Arrow® Endurance Catheter provides clinicians with another option when choosing the right line for their patients. Attach an empty 10-cc syringe to catheter hub. The Arrow® Endurance Extended Dwell Peripheral Catheter System from Teleflex is designed to provide continuous and reliable IV therapy for the entire length of stay. Clean catheter hub with alcohol and /or povidone-iodine. The built-in extension allows the site to be kept under dressing during use. Stop any IV fluids infusing through the catheter including another lumen of the catheter. Using the easier Seldinger Technique, a single shot over the guidewire to insert, the innovative Leaderflex EPIV soft polyurethane construction is softer on vessels. Over 30 days, PICC and in between, 4 to 29 days, the Leaderflex should be considered.

For patients this could cause trauma to their veins due to the catheters stiff Teflon construction, increasing risk of infections.Īlthough PICCs are ideal for patients needing more than 30 days of access, if initially selected for the same 14 day treatment, this will increase the cost of the treatment and the added difficulty/complications of insertion, i.e.: guide wire, peel away sheath, X-Rays. Potentially multiple times over the course of treatment. When should Leaderflex be considered over a PIV or PICC?Ĭurrently, if a patient requires 14 days of antibiotics and a PIV is selected, it will need to be changed after 2 or 3 days. The thermosensitive polyurethane catheter provides lower failure rates than catheters made of other plastics, decreases mechanical phlebitis and reduces infiltration.

Unlike other devices Leaderflex does not use a sheath or dialator that could cause trauma to the vein. The insertion is in the lower arm using a direct seldinger technique that is easy to insert meaning fewer attempts and reduced failure rates. LeaderFlex- Leaderflex is an extended dwell PIV intended for therapies lasting between 3-29 days, a bridge between a PIV and a PICC. There is a movement to place less central vascular access devices.Inappropriate vascular access device placement, Catheter related blood stream infections.There is an over use of PICCs and this costly to your program.Still fail (26 hours and 56% failure rate*) Ultrasound guided PIVs take less attempts to gain access but.On average 1 PIV takes 2.5 attempts to gain access.Peripheral IVs Fail (average dwell of 2.1 days).When a PIV (Peripheral IV) is too little and a PICC is too much…choose Leaderflex.
