What am I looking at?
Visual recognition
Pressure-rated connector tubing linking the power-injector head to the catheter or manifold, typically longer and more robust than routine low-pressure extension tubing.

Recognition, context, and distinction
What does it do, and where will I see it?
Use & procedural context
Connects the contrast power injector to a compatible catheter or manifold and transmits automated high-pressure contrast injections. Typical contexts include angiography, venography, and selected CT-guided injections.
What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?
Key distinctions
Power-injector tubing is specifically pressure-rated for automated contrast delivery; routine extension tubing should not be assumed to tolerate the same injection pressures.
