Short term Hemodialysis catheter curved double fr11.5x200mm

Product Overview

The Short Term Hemodialysis Catheter, curved double lumen (11.5 French x 200mm), is designed for efficient temporary vascular access in patients requiring hemodialysis.
This high-quality medical device provides a reliable solution for renal replacement therapy, ensuring patient comfort and clinical effectiveness.

Benefits of Use

• Efficient Hemodialysis: Double lumen design allows for simultaneous arterial and venous flow, optimizing dialysis treatment.
• Temporary Vascular Access: Ideal for short-term use in acute kidney injury or until a permanent access site is established.
• Patient Comfort: The curved design is engineered for easier insertion and improved patient comfort during placement.
• Reliable Performance: Manufactured to high standards to ensure secure and consistent blood flow.
• Sterile Packaging: Each catheter is individually packaged and sterilized for patient safety.

How to Use

1. Preparation: Ensure all necessary sterile equipment and an antiseptic solution are readily available.
   The insertion site should be prepped according to institutional protocols.
2. Anesthesia and Incision: Administer local anesthetic at the chosen insertion site.
   Make a small skin incision to facilitate guidewire insertion.
3. Guidewire Insertion: Using ultrasound guidance, insert the guidewire into the target vein (e.g., internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral vein).
4. Dilatation: Advance a tissue dilator over the guidewire to enlarge the insertion tract sufficiently for catheter placement.
5. Catheter Insertion: Thread the hemodialysis catheter over the guidewire and advance it into the vein until the tip is in the desired position (e.g., cavoatrial junction for jugular access).
6. Confirmation and Securing: Remove the guidewire.
   Confirm catheter tip placement using radiography.
   Secure the catheter to the skin with sutures or a securement device.
7. Priming and Connection: Flush each lumen with saline and fill with an appropriate anticoagulant locking solution (e.g., heparin or citrate).
   Connect to the dialysis machine as per protocol.

Caution & Warnings

• Professional Use Only: This device must be inserted and managed by trained medical professionals only.
• Risk of Infection: Strict aseptic technique is crucial during insertion and maintenance to minimize the risk of catheter-related bloodstream infections.
• Thrombosis Risk: Monitor for signs of thrombosis or occlusion.
  Proper flushing and locking protocols are essential.
• Air Embolism: Prevent air entry into the lumens, especially during cap changes or disconnections.
• Arterial Puncture: Care must be taken during venipuncture to avoid accidental arterial puncture.
• Misplacement: Confirm catheter tip position radiographically immediately after insertion and before use.
• Single Use: Do not re-sterilize or reuse this device.

Ingredients / Materials

The catheter is typically constructed from high-quality, biocompatible medical-grade polyurethane or silicone, designed for safe contact with blood and bodily tissues for short-term use.
