Short Term Hemodialysis Catheter Curved Double 11.5 Fr x 160 mm

This short-term hemodialysis catheter is designed to provide reliable temporary vascular access for patients requiring hemodialysis, hemofiltration, or apheresis procedures. Engineered for efficiency and patient comfort, this curved, double-lumen catheter features an 11.5 French gauge and a length of 160 mm, making it suitable for a variety of clinical applications.

The product ensures efficient blood flow for both arterial and venous lines, crucial for effective renal replacement therapy. Its curved design is anatomically optimized to minimize vessel wall irritation and facilitate ease of insertion and patient comfort.

Benefits of Use

• Provides immediate and effective vascular access for critical hemodialysis needs.
• Dual lumen design allows for simultaneous arterial and venous access, optimizing treatment efficiency.
• Curved catheter tip promotes easier insertion and reduces trauma to the vessel wall.
• Biocompatible materials ensure patient safety and reduce the risk of adverse reactions.
• Designed for short-term use, providing a reliable solution for acute renal failure or temporary access requirements.

How to Use

1. Confirm patient identity and procedure.
2. Prepare the insertion site according to aseptic techniques.
3. Administer local anesthetic as required.
4. Perform vessel puncture and guide wire insertion using the Seldinger technique.
5. Dilate the tissue and vessel to accommodate the catheter.
6. Advance the catheter over the guide wire into the target vessel (e.g., internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral vein).
7. Verify catheter placement through fluoroscopy or X-ray.
8. Secure the catheter to the skin using sutures or an adhesive device.
9. Flush lumens with appropriate locking solution (e.g., heparinized saline) per institutional protocol.
10. Apply a sterile dressing to the insertion site.

Caution & Warnings

• For single-use only. Do not re-sterilize or reuse.
• Sterile if package is unopened and undamaged. Do not use if sterility is compromised.
• Use only by trained healthcare professionals familiar with catheter insertion techniques and vascular anatomy.
• Careful monitoring for complications such as infection, hemorrhage, pneumothorax, or thrombosis is essential.
• Do not force the catheter during insertion as this may lead to vessel damage or perforation.
• Ensure proper catheter tip placement to avoid complications and ensure optimal function.
• Regularly assess the catheter site for signs of infection or dislodgement.
• Keep out of reach of children.
