Quick Infusion Catheter
Quick Infusion Catheter
- Clinical Condition
- Peripheral intravenous (PIV) cannulation to administer fluids, medication and nutrients.
Rapid resuscitation of critically-ill patients is difficult due to vein vasoconstriction. - Current Practice
- A sharp needle and a plastic cannula are inserted into the vein.
- Resuscitation is done either inefficiently with small catheters or too complex and with high risk of infection
- Solution
- Concentric design for a large gauge catheter using a small gauge needle.
- <6x faster perfusion rate.
- Similar operation as existing PIV catheters can be administered by nurses.
- US and Japan national filing in May 2018.
- Startup Felis Medical has license option.
- 510(K) class II with no human clinical trial.
