Arrowg+ard Blue® PSI

Optimal Access for Hemodynamic Monitoring

The Arrowg+ard Blue® PSI is designed to provide optimal access for hemodynamic monitoring. The hemostasis valve also allows easy access for additional devices such as thermodilution catheter or PSI companion catheter, adding up to three lumens. The sheath's inner lumen accommodates large fluid administration for fast resuscitation. The Arrow-Flex® Feature on the sheath introducer body is designed to flex without kinking or collapsing, ensuring a patent lumen and consistent monitoring during patient movement or catheter manipulation.

The Arrowg+ard Blue® PSI Catheter uses proprietary chlorhexidine-based antimicrobial protection designed to protect your patients from the known pathogens of Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections (CRBSIs).
