The next-generation Arrow VPS Rhythm DLX Device and NaviCurve Stylet are engineered to work together to give Vascular Access professionals more efficient and predictable PICC placement.

More on Teleflex’s New Devices

The VPS Rhythm DLX Device with TipTracker Technology removes the need for a confirmatory x-ray when confirmation checklist parameters are met, helping the clinician insert seamlessly through ultrasound vessel assessment and PICC navigation to final tip confirmation in the lower third of the superior vena cava (SVC). Due to the variability of patient vasculature, PICCs can occasionally have difficulty advancing into the SVC on the first attempt.

The NaviCurve Stylet features an anatomical curve and flexible tip that are designed to self-orient to patient anatomy for enhanced PICC advancement into the SVC for successful insertion.

The introduction of a new positioning device and enhanced catheter design complement its proprietary Arrowg+ard Blue Advance PICC antimicrobial and anti-thrombogenic protection that reduces thrombus accumulation and the primary pathogens responsible for most healthcare-associated infections.
