Atrium: HydraGlide Silicone Thoracic Catheters

All Atrium catheters feature a blue radiopaque stripe for easy confirmation of catheter placement upon X-ray.

Atrium's soft, kink-resistant, superior strength silicone catheter is now available with our patented HydraGlide™ coating – a permanent, covalently bonded heparin complex that inhibits clot formation and reduces mechanical irritation to heart & lung tissues due to ultra-low coefficient of friction.

Atrium’s premium quality silicone chest tube provides unsurpassed high tear strength to reduce the risk of tearing or breaking as well as enhancing drainage visibility. While the flared connector tip provides easy stab wound placement and fast, secure connection to chest drain tubing, the soft silicone conforms easily to anatomy for improved patient comfort and maximum fluid and air evacuation.

The HydraGlide™ version of the silicone catheter features a permanent, covalently bonded heparin complex that inhibits clot formation.
