Vascular Access

Vascular therapies represent an alternative to traditional invasive surgical techniques for the treatment of disease such as coronary artery disease. Vascular therapies improve patient comfort by reducing pain and risk as well as yielding quicker recovery at lower cost.

Engineered polymer resins from Lubrizol are well suited for use in endovascular medical devices (used in the treatment of cardiovascular, peripheral vascular and neurovascular diseases) because of their biocompatibility, biostability and in-dwelling softening characteristics.

Potential applications include:

  • Central Venous Catheters (CVC)
  • Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC)
  • Dialysis Catheters
