Features

Game-changing flow2 for ECMO

The Crescent™ catheter is the first FDA-cleared, jugular dual lumen long-term ECMO line of catheters. The catheter allows for more accurate placement1 with just one cannulation site, delivers enhanced flow dynamics2, and helps maintain optimal flow3 once placed.

Device features

Correct placement made easier1

Optimal flow begins with correct placement, and that can be challenging. The Crescent™ jugular dual-lumen catheter was designed to address those challenges with features that make positioning1 and securement3 easier.  

Radiopaque markers for improved visualization 

Visible under radiographic imaging, radiopaque markers aid in positioning the catheter and identifying drainage sites, infusion port, catheter tip, and axial orientation of the port.

  2. Radiopaque markers at infusion site
  3. Inferior vena cava (IVC) drainage marker
  4. Catheter tip marker

Optimized flow rates2

Enhancements in port placement, lumen design, and tip geometry give the Crescent™ catheter optimal flow efficiency. This enables higher flow at lower pressure and allows for lower rates of hemolysis and recirculation2.

Promotes directional efficiency

The large infusion port, combined with radiopaque markers for placement accuracy, helps ensure flow is directed toward the tricuspid valve.

Helps minimize recirculation

Drainage and reinfusion ports are designed to mimic the body’s natural flow ratios to minimize recirculation while maintaining flow3.

Maintaining desired flow

Maintain desired flow with features that help keep the catheter securely in place during patient ambulation. Enhanced visualization makes it easy to verify that the device remains properly positioned.

  • Visual verification of placement 
    Improved visualization helps quickly identify the catheter tip and orientation of the reinfusion port, while verifying that accurate positioning is maintained over the course of the case.
  • Extended tip design helps maintain position 
    The tip of the catheter sits deeper in the IVC, reducing the chance of migration outside of the IVC.

Durable securement3

  1. In select circumstances, sutures may be placed on the connectors.
  2. The bifurcation suture site provides security against catheter translations.
  3. The integrated suture site contains special reinforcement to protect against catheter damage.
  4. The optional suture collar can be placed at a desired location on the catheter body before or after catheter insertion.
