Overview of the safety and efficacy of the Surfacer® Inside-Out® Access Catheter System for obtaining central venous access in patients with thoracic central venous obstructions.

The Surfacer System offers a safe and effective approach to reliably preserve and restore critical upper body vascular access sites. For dialysis patients, the device offers an alternative which avoids placement of dialysis catheters in veins which may impact the ability to achieve maturation of hemodialysis vascular access or in locations which have an increased risk of insertion-related complications or are associated with higher morbidity.
