Multistar 5 + is a 5 lumen central venous catheter, in polyurethane, introduced in a deep vein such as the jugular, subclavian, femoral veins, using the Seldinger technique. Antibiotic impregnated multi-lumen catheter.
The active ingredients used in the Multistar are Rifampicin and Miconazole. In contact with blood and the infused solutions, the catheter releases slowly and regularly Rifampicin and Miconazole from its internal and external surface. The efficiency of the anti-microbial activity has been tested up to 30 days.

The punture needle is fitted with a BLS valve (Bloodless system) to limit the loss of blood and the risk of air embolism.

Benefits:

• Biocompatible and safe
• Clinically proven to reduce CRI and colonisation
• Effective broad spectrum of activity against bacteria and fungi
• Long lasting: will protect for the life of the catheter
• Nitinol “J” guidewire for smooth catheter placement
• CE registered. CE 0481
