Clear Catheter Systems
Clear Catheter Systems is Bend, Oregon based medical device company
pioneering new technologies that will revolutionize drainage after
surgery and trauma. Indwelling body space
drains are ubiquitous in medicine, and are especially commonly used
after heart, lung and trauma surgery. The body’s natural response to an
indwelling drainage catheter is to form clot within the tube. This
results in impairment in the ability of the catheter to drain
adequately. Clogging in surgical drainage tubes can lead to complications and even death. Clear Catheter Systems is developing proprietary breakthrough technology to prevent clogging within both large and small drainage catheters after heart, lung and trauma surgery as well as other procedures where drainage is critical. |  |  |
