Thoracentesis/Paracentesis

CareFusion offers two innovative catheter-over-the-needle drainage devices for thoracentesis and paracentesis—a standard and an advanced system. Both devices offer you the most advanced technology for your thoracentesis and paracentesis procedures.

Safe-T Centensis® Catheter System

Our advanced device brings together a number of innovations. This revolutionary drainage system is designed to reduce the risks associated with normal percutaneous needle placements, enhance procedural flexibility and help you comply with today’s safety requirements and recommendations.

Standard Thoracentesis/Paracentesis Device

Our standard device provides a safe, strong, supple fluid path, excellent specimen retrieval and therapeutic drainage. It features a self-sealing safety valve to maintain a closed system that is activated automatically upon removal of the introducer needle. Multiple spirally oriented side ports provide a reduced chance of obstruction, helping to ensure optimum return of fluid.
