Short term Hemodialysis catheter curved double fr11.5x200mm

Product Overview

The short-term, double-lumen, curved hemodialysis catheter (11.5 French x 200 mm) is designed to provide effective temporary vascular access for patients requiring hemodialysis.

This high-quality medical device offers a reliable solution for renal replacement therapy, ensuring patient comfort and clinical effectiveness.

Benefits of Use

• Effective Hemodialysis: The double-lumen design allows for simultaneous arterial and venous blood flow, optimizing hemodialysis treatment.
• Temporary Vascular Access: Ideal for short-term use in acute kidney injury cases or until a permanent access site is established.
• Patient Comfort: The curved shape is designed to facilitate insertion and improve patient comfort during placement.
• Reliable Performance: Manufactured to high standards to ensure safe 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 antiseptic solution are readily available. The insertion site should be prepared 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. Dilation: Advance a tissue dilator over the guidewire to adequately enlarge the insertion tract for catheter placement.
5. Catheter Insertion: Thread the hemodialysis catheter over the guidewire and advance it into the vein until the tip reaches the desired position (e.g., cavoatrial junction for jugular access).
6. Confirmation and Securement: Remove the guidewire. Confirm catheter tip placement by radiography. Secure the catheter to the skin with sutures or a securement device.
7. Flushing and Connection: Flush each lumen with saline and fill with an appropriate anticoagulant locking solution (e.g., heparin or citrate). Connect to the hemodialysis machine according to protocol.

Warnings & Precautions

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

Components / Materials

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