What is a Central Venous Catheter (CVC) Kit?
A Central Venous Catheter (CVC) Kit is a set of medical devices used for inserting and maintaining a catheter in a large vein near the heart for prolonged venous access using the Seldinger technique. It is available in single, double, and triple lumen types of various sizes and catheter lengths.
The kit includes a catheter made of high quality Radiopaque Polyurethane (PU) with a soft tip, vessel dilator, guidewire, color-coded clamp, injection cap, disposable syringe, introducer needle, scalpel, and movable suture wing for catheter fixation.
AdvaCare Pharma's Central Venous Catheter (CVC) Kit is manufactured in ISO and CE certified facilities across India, China, and the USA, which adhere to rigorous healthcare standards to ensure the highest level of quality and safety. These facilities undergo regular inspections to maintain compliance with these standards.
Product Specifications
Lumen Type
Kit Components
Single Lumen Catheter
Single lumen catheter in a central venous catheter (CVC) kit has a single hole through the center and is typically used for the administration of hyperosmolar solutions, measuring CVP, haemodialysis, plasmapheresis, and rapid infusion of fluid among other medical purposes. This type of catheter is designed for delivering medication and fluids directly into the bloodstream.
Double Lumen Catheter
Double Lumen Catheter central venous catheter (CVC) kit has two separate non-communicating vascular access lumens within a single catheter body. The proximal lumen is used for blood samples, medications, and blood administration, while the distal lumen is used for CVP monitoring, blood and medication administration. Using a double lumen reduces the need for multiple venipunctures, making it efficient for patients requiring prolonged venous access. Double lumen catheters are often used in critical care settings where patients require hemodialysis or other forms of intensive therapy.
Triple Lumen Catheter
Triple Lumen Catheter central venous catheter (CVC) kit contains three separate non-communicating vascular access lumens within a single catheter body. The proximal lumen is for blood samples, medications, and blood administration. The distal lumen is for CVP monitoring, blood and medication administration, while the medial lumen is exclusively for total parenteral nutrition. This type of catheter is designed to reduce the need for multiple venipunctures, which can help minimize discomfort and the risk of infection for patients. Triple lumen catheters are typically used in situations where multiple medical interventions are required.
Radiopaque Polyurethane Catheter
Radiopaque Polyurethane Catheter used in the CVC kit is a type of medical-grade tubing that is radiopaque, meaning it can be seen on an X-ray or fluoroscopy. It is soft and flexible, making it easy to insert and comfortable for the patient, while also being durable enough for long-term use. Its radiopaque properties allow for accurate placement and monitoring of the catheter.
Vessel Dilator
Vessel Dilator in a central venous catheter (CVC) kit is a medical device used to dilate and prepare the vein for catheter insertion. It is made of a flexible material such as plastic or metal and comes in various sizes to match the catheter diameter. The dilator is typically inserted into the vein over the guidewire to help guide the catheter into place.
Guidewire
Guidewire in a CVC kit is a thin, flexible wire used to guide the catheter through the vein during insertion. It is typically made of stainless steel or a similar material and is designed to be maneuvered through the vein with ease. The guidewire is an essential component of the CVC set and helps ensure successful placement of the catheter.
Clamp
Clamp included in a CVC kit is color-coded to identify the arterial and venous lumens, making it easy for healthcare professionals to use. It is an important tool for controlling the flow of fluids and medication through the catheter. The clamp is designed to be durable, ensuring optimal patient safety and comfort during catheterization procedures.
Disposable Syringe (5ml Luer Slip)
Disposable Syringe (5ml Luer Slip) is a single-use syringe with a luer slip tip used for administering medications or withdrawing fluids from the catheter. It has a clear barrel with easy-to-read markings to ensure accurate dosage measurement. The luer slip tip provides a secure fit with other medical devices such as needles or catheters.
Injection Cap
Injection Cap is a small plastic device that is used to cover the end of the catheter when it is not in use. It helps to maintain the sterility of the catheter and prevent the entry of air or other contaminants. The cap also provides a convenient site for administering medications or other fluids to the patient.
Introducer Needle (18G)
Introducer Needle (18G) is a sharp, hollow needle used for initial puncture of the vessel during CVC insertion. It is designed to minimize trauma and improve the ease of insertion. The 18-gauge size allows for easier penetration of the vessel and facilitates catheter insertion. The needle also features a beveled tip that helps reduce the risk of damage to the surrounding tissues during insertion.
Scalpel (11)
Scalpel (#11) is a sterile, disposable surgical instrument used for making small incisions in the skin during central venous catheter insertion. Its small blade size and pointed tip provide precise cutting, reducing the risk of tissue damage or bleeding. The scalpel is designed to be ergonomic and easy to use, providing the clinician with optimal control during the incision.
Movable Suture Wing
Movable Suture Wing is a flexible and adjustable wing-shaped device that helps secure the catheter in place. It allows for easy suture placement, reducing the risk of catheter dislodgement or migration. The wing can be positioned on either side of the catheter and adjusted to accommodate varying patient anatomies. It also provides a convenient anchor point for securing the catheter to the skin.

Uses
How should a Central Venous Catheter (CVC) Kit be used?
Using a Central Venous Catheter (CVC) kit requires a sterile environment and proper technique to minimize the risk of infection. Before starting, the operator must wash their hands, don sterile gloves and a mask, and place a sterile drape over the patient. Then, local anesthesia is applied, and the introducer needle is inserted into the vein.
Once the needle is confirmed to be in the vein, the guidewire is threaded through and the needle is removed. The dilator is inserted over the guidewire to widen the hole, followed by the catheter being threaded over the guidewire into the vein. When done, the catheter is secured in place and connected to the appropriate tubing and accessories for its intended use.
How should a CVC Kit be disposed of?
After use, the CVC kit and all of its components must be disposed of according to proper medical waste management guidelines. This includes separating sharps, such as the introducer needle and scalpel, from the rest of the kit and placing them in a sharps container for proper disposal.
FAQs
What are the parts of a Central Venous Catheter (CVC) Kit, and how do they interact with each other?
A CVC kit typically includes a catheter, guidewire, vessel dilator, clamp, injection cap, disposable syringe, introducer needle, scalpel, and movable suture wing for catheter fixation. The components work together in the Seldinger technique to safely insert and maintain the catheter in a large vein near the heart.
What is the difference between single, double, and triple lumen CVC Kits?
Single lumen CVC kits have one tube for fluid and medication administration, while double lumen CVC kits have two tubes for separate fluid and medication administration. Triple lumen CVC kits have three separate tubes for medication, blood sampling, and fluid administration.
What are the different catheter lengths available in CVC sets?
Catheter lengths in CVC kits can vary depending on the intended use and patient anatomy. For this product, lengths range from 8cm to 15cm. Longer catheters may be necessary for larger patients or specific procedures.
What is the lumen size in CVC Kits?
The lumen size refers to the diameter of the tubes within the catheter. Smaller lumen sizes are typically used for medication administration, while larger lumen sizes are necessary for blood sampling and fluid administration.
How should CVC Kits be stored and handled?
CVC kits should be stored in a dry, cool place to prevent damage to the components. It is important to follow proper infection control procedures when handling the kit, including wearing gloves, sterilizing equipment, and avoiding contamination during insertion.
