Central Venous Catheters (CVC Triple Lumen): ICU Procurement Guide
Multi-infusion therapy in intensive care requires dedicated lumens for vasopressors, TPN, and blood sampling. How to source complete Seldinger CVC kits at direct factory cost.
With the rapid expansion of private specialty hospitals and cardiac centers across Dhaka, Chittagong, and Sylhet, demand for central venous vascular access consumables has surged.
