Product catalog summary

Introduction to BioFlo Ports with Endexo Technology
The BioFlo Port is an implantable port featuring Endexo Technology, designed to reduce thrombus accumulation compared to non-coated port catheters. Endexo is a permanent, non-eluting polymer integrated into the catheter material, enhancing resistance to blood component accumulation throughout the catheter's life.

Key Features and Benefits

Thrombus Reduction: In vitro studies show significant reduction in thrombus accumulation, as evidenced by scanning electron microscopy images.
Identification and Verification: Radiopaque "CT" lettering and additional verification tools ensure the port is power injectable.
PASV Valve Technology: This design resists backflow, reduces blood reflux, and maintains long-term patency, offering a saline-only flushing option.
Cost Efficiency: The use of PASV Valve Technology results in reduced complications, nursing time, and overall maintenance costs.

Specifications and Usage

Indications: Suitable for long-term central venous access for various fluid administrations and blood specimen withdrawal. Compatible with power injection of contrast media at specified infusion rates.
Contraindications: Includes specific anatomical and medical conditions such as infection, previous thrombosis, and allergic reactions to device materials.

Ordering Information
BioFlo Ports are available in various configurations, including plastic and titanium options, with valved and non-valved versions. Each kit includes essential components for implantation and use.

Important Risk Information
Usage is restricted to physician orders, and users should consult the package insert for comprehensive instructions, contraindications, and precautions.

Proven to Reduce Thrombus Accumulation, In Vitro1 The BioFlo* Port is the first implantable port with Endexo* Technology, providing a catheter material more resistant to the in-vitro accumulation of blood components compared to non-coated port catheters (based on platelet count).1.2 Endexo Technology is a permanent and non-eluting polymer that is “blended” into the polyurethane from which the catheter is made. It is present throughout the catheter including the extraluminal, intraluminal and cut catheter surface of the tip. Endexo Technology remains present for the life of the catheter and provides...
