The revolutionary Safe-T-Centesis® thoracentesis/paracentesis device is designed to reduce the risks associated with normal percutaneous needle drainage and enhance patient comfort and procedural flexibility. The Safe-T-Centesis device features an occlusion resistant, silicone-coated pigtail catheter (available in 6 or 8 Fr) that allows for secure placement and anatomically assisted self-direction.

The device offers a combination of unique built-in safety features, including a blunt obturator with color safety indicator, which provide patient protection from perforations and user protection from needle stick injuries.

The Safe-T-Centesis device is available in a variety of kits and trays to meet different thoracentesis and paracentesis procedural needs. The device is also offered in Safe-T-Centesis PLUS trays, which feature even more safety components to assist with compliance with today’s safety requirements and recommendations.
