3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
A prospective study evaluating the timing, incidence and relationship of commonly occurring complications related to the use of peripherally-inserted central catheters. All subjects will receive PICC access using the Arrow PICC with Chloragard Technology.
The purpose of this study is to compare upper arm versus forearm Extended Dwell Catheter (EDC) placement for blood sampling functionality. EDC is an alternative to peripheral Intravenous (IVs) especially during prolonged hospital stays. EDCs are generally placed using ultrasound for guidance and are commonly placed in any of 3 veins in the arm. They can be inserted above or below the antecubital fossa (the bend of the elbow). These catheters can be left for up to 30 days and don't fail as quickly when compared to peripheral IVs.
This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study designed to assess the safety and performance of the Pristine™ Long-Term Hemodialysis Catheter.
