The Arrow® Pediatric Double Lumen Central Venous Catheter (5 Fr × 13 cm) is specially designed to provide safe, reliable central venous access in pediatric patients requiring short-term infusion therapy, medication delivery, or blood sampling. Manufactured by Arrow (Teleflex), this catheter features a smaller French size and optimized length to suit pediatric vascular anatomy while maintaining efficient flow performance.
The double lumen configuration allows clinicians to administer multiple therapies simultaneously without repeated venipuncture, making it ideal for use in pediatric ICUs, neonatal and pediatric wards, emergency departments, and operating rooms.Shah Trading Corporation, Mumbai is the trusted dealer and supplier for genuine Arrow® pediatric CVCs across India.
Key Features:
* Pediatric-specific design tailored for smaller vessels * Double lumen configuration for concurrent infusion and aspiration * 5 Fr catheter size minimizes vessel trauma & 13 cm length suitable for short-term pediatric central access * Smooth polyurethane construction for controlled insertion * Color-coded lumens to reduce line confusion * Radiopaque material for accurate placement confirmation

Actual Real-World Product Usage
In real clinical settings, the Arrow® Pediatric Double Lumen CVC is used when secure central venous access is required in infants and children for administering IV medications, fluids, parenteral nutrition, or blood products. The catheter allows one lumen to be used for continuous infusion while the second lumen supports intermittent medication delivery or blood sampling—reducing repeated needle sticks and improving patient comfort.
How does catheter diameter impact venous flow in pediatric patients?
In pediatric patients, an oversized catheter can compromise venous return and increase thrombosis risk. The 5 Fr diameter is carefully selected to balance adequate infusion flow while preserving vessel patency in smaller veins.
Can this catheter support pressure monitoring in pediatric ICU settings?
Yes. One lumen may be dedicated to central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring, while the second lumen remains available for medication or fluid administration, improving line efficiency.
What role does polyurethane play in pediatric catheter performance?
Medical-grade polyurethane offers an optimal balance of flexibility and strength, reducing vessel irritation while maintaining resistance to kinking during pediatric movement.
