Medcomp

Dilators

Overview

Safely and progressively

A Medcomp dilator is a medical device designed to safely and progressively enlarge a percutaneous opening in a blood vessel (typically the internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral vein). It is a critical component of catheter insertion kits, allowing for the smooth, less traumatic, and rapid insertion of larger hemodialysis, apheresis, or vascular access catheters.

Key functions and features include:

  • Vessel Dilation:It stretches the skin and subcutaneous tissue to allow the insertion of larger catheters.
  • Over-the-Wire Technique: It supports the Seldinger technique (a procedure for gaining vascular access), enabling safe passage over a guide wire.
  • Trauma Reduction: Its design ensures a less traumatic insertion process.
  • Variety of Sizes: Available in different French sizes and types (straight or stepped) to match the specific catheter being inserted.
