Safe-T-Centesis®


Innovations for patient safety and procedural efficacy.

The Safe-T-Centesis® drainage system leads the class for the next generation of percutaneous catheter-over-the-needle drainage devices. Bringing together a number of innovations, this revolutionary drainage system is designed to:
  • reduce the risks associated with normal percutaneous needle placements.
  • enhance procedural flexibility.
  • promote compliance with OSHA needle stick prevention legislation.


Veress™ technology with visual color indicator

Pigtail catheter

  • Pigtail shape for secure placement and anatomically assisted self-direction.
  • Occlusion-resistant, with four ports strategically placed on inside apex of pigtail.
  • Silicone coated for smooth insertion and minimal potential for "accordion" effect.

Self-sealing valve

  • Closed system for minimized risk of pneumothorax or leakage.
  • The resealing membrane within the valve system allows the safety introducer needle assembly to be reinserted (for procedures not requiring maintenance of a closed system).
  • Compatible with 0.035 and 0.038 guide wires to clear occlusions or expand your procedural capabilities beyond the percutaneous realm (for procedures not requiring maintenance of a closed system).
