Product type
A central venous catheter (CVC) is a flexible tube inserted into a large vein, typically in the neck, chest, or groin, to provide access to the central venous system. Made from biocompatible materials such as silicone or polyurethane, CVCs are designed for long-term use and can remain in place for weeks to months. They are commonly used for administering medications, fluids, blood products, and for monitoring hemodynamic pressures.

| Length | Typically 15 to 30 cm |
| Diameter | Ranges from 5 French to 16 French |

When selecting a central venous catheter, consider the intended duration of use, the patient's anatomy, and the specific clinical needs. Buyers should specify the catheter material, length, diameter, and number of lumens required. It is also important to check for any necessary certifications and to ensure the product meets relevant medical standards.
