Cross-section of central venous catheters (CVCs). Cross section of the 17-gauge (G) double-lumen (left), 17G triple-lumen (center), and 15G triple-lumen (right) CVCs (ARGYLE™ Fukuroi SMAC™ Plus, Cardinal Health™), side by side with ruler scale for size comparison. Note the semicircular-shaped distal (largest) lumen of the 17G triple-lumen CVC (center) in contrast with the circular-shaped distal lumens of the 17G double-lumen (left) and of the 15G triple-lumen (right) CVCs. The outer diameters of the 17G double-lumen (left), 17G triple-lumen (center), and 15G double-lumen CVC (right) are 1.35 mm, 1.45 mm, and 1.70 mm, respectively
