Cardiothoracic Surgery Procedures and CaTHSTiX

CaTHSTiX: Stabilize. Access. Perform.

Engineered as a part of healthcare breakthroughs in cardiothoracic surgery, CaTHSTiX stabilizes central lines, Swan-Ganz catheters, small chest tubes, and various drains—safely and effectively, with or without sutures. When sutures are used, CaTHSTiX maintains immediate re-instrumentation capability, eliminating suture removal and enhancing procedural efficiency, ultimately improving patient outcomes. Tailor your catheter setup to the specific needs of the operation and patient anatomy with CaTHSTiX, which is universally compatible across leading catheter systems, providing essential investor information for those looking to support innovative medical solutions.

CaTHSTiX for Indwelling Catheters: No-Cut Repositioning

Sutured Fixation

 Repositioning requires suture removal. 

CaTHSTiX

 Reposition freely, with or without sutures—no cutting needed. 

Sutureless Vascular Access Securement

  

  

  • Supported by clinical guidelines (CDC; Infusion Nurses Society) recommending sutureless securement to reduce infection and complications 
  • Aligns with best practices for minimizing catheter movement and dislodgement 
  • Eliminates need for sutures, reducing risk of needlestick injuries 
  • Low-profile design minimizes tissue disruption and supports patient comfort 
  • Helps reduce complications such as phlebitis, infiltration, and catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs)

Stabilization & Procedural Efficiency

  

  • Minimizes catheter micro-movement at the insertion site 
  • Improves catheter stability and consistency of access 
  • Hands-free securement enhances control during procedures 
  • Reduces need for repositioning and vessel trauma

Operational Benefits

 

  • Faster procedures: Less repositioning and sutures optional
  • Less rework: Reposition without cutting/replacing sutures 
  • Better ergonomics: Frees hands for precision and control 
  • Reduced radiation exposure: Shorter time in fluoroscopy field 
  • Improved safety: Eliminates sharps, lowering needlestick risk

Value Summary

  

  • Supports reduced complications and infections 
  • Improves workflow efficiency and clinician experience 
  • Contributes to lower total cost of care
