Catheters made using NEU™ View Radiopaque Translucent Solution provide optical visibility when outside body and optimized visibility under X-ray when inside body. Technology enables clinicians to make visual confirmation of fluid flow and can allow for detection of potentially harmful air bubbles. In addition, manufacturers of catheters can benefit through increased production efficiency by eliminating need for co-extrusion, which is typically required to manufacture striped catheters.
