摘要：
A catheter can be used in arterial and/or venous placement, in conjunction with ultrasound positioning. The catheter itself is made of the same materials, and is sized using the standard gauges, as current existing catheters. However, the catheter has a microtexture on the outer surface of the catheter. This microtexture efficiently and effectively reflects propagated ultrasound waves in situ, to provide a brighter and clearer image of the catheter when being placed in a patients vessel, with ultrasound imaging equipment.
