drainova® ArgentiC catheter
drainova® ArgentiC catheter
Catheter with micro silver
The ArgentiC tunneled catheter allows recurrent drainage for patients with recurrent malignant and non-malignant pleural effusions or ascites. This includes the inpatient and home setting. The catheter is made of biocompatible silicone with incorporated micro-silver. The silver ions have antimicrobial activity at the catheter surface and reduce the risk of infection without having a systemic effect.
