St.Vincent Seton Specialty: First Hospital in Lafayette to Use New Technology to Eliminate Radiation and Reduce Costs

Journal and Courier

St.Vincent Seton Specialty Hospital, a long-term acute care facility, is the first in Lafayette and second in the state to use a new technology to locate the placement of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). The newly FDA-approved device, Sapiens TCS by Bard Access Systems, provides real-time PICC catheter tip location information without using an X-ray; thus eliminating radiation and reducing patient costs.
