Morpheus® CT PICC

The Image of Flexibility and Strength

The Morpheus CT PICC provides medical practitioners with increased flexibility to both administer medications and perform CT imaging using one PICC line. Avoiding the need for a second access site provides patient comfort, saves time and cuts costs.

The unique versatility of the Morpheus CT PICC also can be attributed to the quality of the shaft. Its strong, yet flexible, Durathane® material is made from an advanced composite that outperforms traditional silicone and polyurethane while offering the advantages of both. Its resistance to iodine and alcohol creates more ease in access site maintenance and patient care.

Unlike conventional PICC lines, our patent-pending shaft technology offers a graceful transition from increased stiffness at the proximal end to softer flexibility at the distal end. The proximal pushability allows the catheter to be easily inserted into the patient, whether you prefer the over-the-wire or the sheath dilator method. The distal pliability offers the patient greater comfort with minimized risk of vessel wall trauma and phlebitis.

Additionally, Morpheus CT PICCs can come in standard or Smart Taper™. Creating a smooth transition between the catheter and the hub, the Smart Taper reduces leakage around the insertion site with its 3 cm long taper. The taper starts at the hub with 5 French or 7 French outer diameters. and funnels down to the standard catheter size. Morpheus has a stiffer proximal shaft at the hub to aid with insertion and increase pushability.

Insertion Kits

The comprehensive Morpheus CT PICC insertion kit includes all the basic components you need, ready at your fingertips. The kit is packaged for ready access and designed to make medical practitioners’ jobs easier, including:

  • easy access to the sterile towel, mask and gloves needed to begin the procedure;
  • separate packages within for the catheter and insertion components;
  • large-text syringe labels to eliminate confusion; and
  • a small tray that works well in tight spaces.  


Important Risk Information

INDICATION FOR USE: The Morpheus CT PICC is indicated for short or long-term peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy, power injections of contrast media, and for central venous pressure monitoring. CAUTION: Federal (USA) law restricts these devices to sale by or on the order of a physician. CONTRAINDICATIONS: This device is contraindicated whenever the patient has or is suspected of having: infection, bacteremia, or septicemia; allergic reaction to the device’s materials; past irradiation, previous episodes of venous thrombosis, or vascular surgical procedures at the prospective insertion site; local tissue factors that will prevent proper device stabilization and/or access. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS: Please see package insert for complete list of warnings and precautions. POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS: Possible complications and risks include, but are not limited to those normally associated with local or general anesthesia, interventional procedures, surgery, and post surgery recovery.

Indications, contraindications, warnings and instructions for use can be found in the instructions for use supplied with each device. Observe all instructions prior to use. Failure to do so may result in patient complications.
