Celsite® Anthron® Arterial
For loco-regional chemotherapy of liver tumours via a tapered heparin covered polyurethane catheter (percutaneous implantation technique)
Celsite® Anthron® Arterial Port Systems are indicated for arterial applications and permit loco-regional chemotherapy directly targeting tumours.
The Anthron® catheter is specially designed for percutaneous access via the femoral or axillary artery to the hepatic artery and for hepatic arterial infusion of chemotherapy (HAIT). Anthron® is a hydrophilic polyurethane catheter to which heparin is ionically bound. It is particularly indicated to help prevent catheter occlusion and catheter-related thrombosis.
