About the Surfacer® Inside-Out® Access Catheter System: The Surfacer System is designed to reliably, efficiently and repeatedly gain central venous access by inserting the Surfacer System through the right femoral vein and navigating it up through the patient’s venous system with an exit point in the right internal jugular vein, the optimal location for placing a central venous catheter.

This proprietary Inside-Out approach allows for the placement and maturation of permanent arteriovenous access options that are associated with improved patient outcomes and reduced cost of care for both hospitals and hemodialysis providers.

The Surfacer System has received FDA De Novo device clearance in the US and is CE
marked in Europe. The device is currently distributed in North America and Europe by Merit Medical, a global manufacturer and distributor of medical devices.
