"It is an invaluable tool to have when I need it, it has the ability to convert an unsuccessful procedure into a successful case. I would not be in any lab without it."

"...I use PD ACCESS 100% for my radial sticks with 100% success. It is fast, accurate, and efficient..."

"Successful use of PD ACCESS shortens the duration of vascular access in difficult pediatric patients... this technique has become the preferred initial entry technique for cannulation of the internal jugular in small children. In addition, this technique was particularly useful for femoral artery cannulation in patients with coarction of the aorta with absent/diminished femoral pulse."

"When we encounter problems with femoral artery or vein access due to peripheral vascular disease, prior vascular surgery, or challenging overlying soft tissue, PD ACCESS has consistently allowed prompt access and reduced procedure time as well as patient discomfort."
"By homing in on the distinctive Doppler signal from either artery or vein and listening for the abrupt increase in signal intensity as the vessel is punctured, centrally-located front-wall puncture of either vessel is a certainty. As we increase our use of various groin closure devices, moreover, it is clear that a perfect puncture is the basis of a perfect closure. I believe that any cath lab doing a high volume of femoral cases should have the PD ACCESS technology available."
