Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Prospective, single-arm, multicentre, international Registry of the Surfacer System for the treatment of patients with limited or diminishing upper body venous access or pathology impeding standard access methods.The purpose of this post-market Registry is to assess the standard of care and clinical outcomes of the Surfacer System used in clinical routine according to the approved commercial indications.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter registry of the Surfacer System for patients with limited or diminishing upper body venous access or pathology impeding standard access methods. The need for long term access and lack of availability of veins has led to the development of the Surfacer System, which facilitates reliable and repeatable placement of central venous catheters and restores central venous access. Based on European legislation, this Registry is considered to be an observational study. No additional diagnostic or monitoring procedures as a result of the inclusion are applied to the patients. Available data will be collected in a protected database. Up to 30 patients will be enrolled in 5 sites in Europe. Patients requiring central venous access will be enrolled who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria and for whom the device is indicated.
