What syringe size is recommended for use with the Cannon Catheter?
It is recommended that a 10cc or larger syringe be used to infuse or flush the catheter. Infusion pressures should never exceed 40 psi to prevent damage to blood vessels. A two-pound weight equivalent force on the barrel of a 3cc syringe generates pressure in excess of 40 psi. The same two-pound weight equivalent force on the barrel of a 10cc syringe generates less than 8 psi of pressure.
