NAVIGATØR® BIONAVIGATION® SYSTEM
The Corpak MedSystems NAVIGATØR BioNavigation System confirms PICC/CVC tip location during bedside placement. The system consists of the NAVIGATØR, a hand-held, battery-powered locating instrument, and a sterile, single patient use, stylet (MAPCath).
The NAVIGATØR instrument emits electromagnetic fields, which are detected by the sensor in the tip of the MAPCath Sensor Stylet.
A compass light display on the NAVIGATØR instrument indicates the precise location and direction of the tip of the PICC/CVC catheter.
The MAPCath Sensor Stylet easily replaces the stylet in a conventional catheter, and comes with a Tuohy-Borst Adapter with irrigation port that easily attaches with a variety of PICC/CVC catheters.
