Hohn catheter

The prototype non-tunneled small-bore intermediate-term catheter is the Hohn catheter (Bard Access Systems, Salt Lake City, Utah). This is a non-tapered silicone catheter available in 5-F single lumen and 7-F dual lumen varieties. It is designed for intermediate term use generally from 4-8 weeks (Hicks et al. 1994). The catheter is secured by suture. In many institutions, the PICC has largely replaced the Hohn.
