FYI
: The
design of
the pump's
micro-bore
catheters
eliminates
the possi-
bility of
dumping
and kinking, says the company. The latex- and
DEHP-free system allows physicians to run 1-
5 catheters from a single pump, with each
catheter delivering a different flow rate to dif-
ferent parts of the body, if needed.
