What is a SLIC central line?
Known as a SLIC catheter, this is a single 7 French lumen which has been designed to be inserted in an introducer sheath. It allows for the addition of an extra infusion site in patients with an introducer in place. Traditionally, these catheters also have the capability to monitor central venous pressure as well.
What is a MAC line?
MAC is a trademarked name that stands for multi-lumen catheter. MAC introducers can come with anywhere from one to three lumens, hence the name Multi-lumen Access Catheter. It is a type of central line. You could float a swan or transvenous pacer through many MACs, but not all.

What is a Cordis line?
cordis is the preferred central line in trauma , unstable GI bleeds, ruptured AAAs, or any other situation in which the necessity for rapid transfusion of blood products is anticipated. It is a short, wide, single-lumen central venous catheter that is perfect for rapid large-volume infusions.

What is an introducer sheath used for?
The Engage™ Introducer is indicated for the introduction of angiographic catheters, closed end catheters, balloon catheters, and electrodes into a blood vessel (including but not limited to femoral, radial, and brachial access) where minimizing blood loss is essential.
What is the difference between a Cordis and central line?
This “introducer” can be used as an additional central line regardless of whether a catheter is inserted through the centre. The introducer is often called the “Cordis”; this was the Trade name for the first product ever produced. Thus, the catheter is called a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter.
Can a SLIC catheter be used as an introducer?
One of our intensivists has begun using Arrow’s Slic catheter in their introducer sheath as a medium term access device. I have been unable to find any references to this and have a general discomfort with the idea of leaving an introducer in for extended periods of time.
