Traveler™
Portal Vein Access Series
Argon’s Traveler™ Portal Vein Access Series helps evolve transjugular liver access procedures through unique visibility and durability enhancements while maintaining common techniques.
Greater Procedure Visibility
The Traveler™ Series is designed to significantly improve visibility of the components when using fluoroscopy and ultrasound imaging modalities.
- Alignment marker to help identify when the needle/stylet is flush with the end of PEEK needle/stylet catheter and the stiffening cannula (if applicable).
- Echogenic tips enable visibility of the needle or stylet on various imaging modalities for easy detection while piercing through liver to portal vein.
- Radiopaque band on the stiffening cannula provide amplified visibility under fluoroscopy to assist with locating and orienting each component.
Improved Durability
The Traveler™ Series includes durable components helpful when piercing through the parenchyma and advancing through to portal vein.
- Needle/stylet catheters are constructed of PEEK material instead of traditional PTFE to reduce the risk of fishmouthing and component buckling when advancing through cirrhotic parenchyma.
Versatile Options
Traveler™ is available in stylet and needle offerings to meet physician preference.
- Traveler™ 16 is available as a 16Ga needle
- Traveler™ 38 is available as a .038” stylet
- Traveler™ 21 is available as a 21Ga Chiba needle
Indications for Use
