The Argon L‑Cath PICC S/L kit (catalog # 384516) is a 28‑gauge (1.2 French), 25 cm single‑lumen polyurethane peripherally inserted central catheter—a device tailored primarily for neonatal or infant vascular access. Made from DEHP‑free, latex‑free polyurethane, the catheter balances soft flexibility with sufficient tensile strength to support safe placement into small peripheral veins while maintaining adequate flow rates.The kit typically includes a pre‑attached Y‑site extension, a protective sleeve to guard against contamination, centimeter markings for accurate trimming, and a dedicated trimming tool ensuring a clean, 90° cut in line with INS and FDA recommendations. 

Clinically, this kit also includes a U‑wing splittable introducer needle, which aids precise vascular entry and allows gentle catheter advancement. The design supports first‑stick success by facilitating blood flashback visibility, helping reduce trauma during insertion in sensitive neonatal vessels. The catheter’s slim profile and short length make it ideally suited for short-term central venous access in NICU/PICU settings.

As labeled in the FDA’s GUDID database, the device is cleared for prescription-only use, sterile and single-use, with no natural rubber latex components. While some listings for expired or research-use-only stock note dates in early 2022, the standard commercial availability status remains active—mere reminders to verify expiration before clinical use. In summary, the Argon 384516 L‑Cath PICC kit offers a purpose-built neonatal single-lumen access solution combining safety, ease of placement, and compliance with vascular access standards.
