Tunneled Catheter Manufacturers

Tunneled catheter is a permanent catheter that is fixed in place when tissue forms in response to a cuff placed beneath the skin. Typically the catheter is inserted into the internal jugular vein in the neck or the subclavian vein just below the collarbone, then tunneled from the puncture site down onto the chest wall, emerging from the skin about six inches from where it entered the vein. The tip of the catheter lies in the large vein that returns blood to the heart.
