Macy Catheter Tray Launches at ACEP

Hospi Corporation, introduced the Macy Catheter Tray at this year’s ACEP Scientific Assembly. The new device is designed specifically to support the needs of clinicians working in emergency departments and other acute care facilities.   The Macy Catheter provides a bridge or alternative to IV access, and intended to decrease hospital admissions and facilitate patient discharge. It received FDA clearance in 2014 and the CE Mark approval this year, and is designed solely for ongoing rectal delivery of medications and fluids. Invented by a nurse, Brad Macy, RN, BSN, CHPN, the catheter is used in hospice and palliative care facilities across the county, and is making its way into emergency and acute care settings. “This convenience kit reflects our commitment to optimize patient care through expanded use of the Macy Catheter in areas where it can help to ease provider workflow, lower the risk of iatrogenic complications and reduce costs,”  said Igal Ladabaum, the CEO of Hospi Corporation.
