Short term Hemodialysis catheter stright double fr11.5x160mm

Product Overview

A short-term hemodialysis catheter, straight double lumen, 11.5 French size and 160 mm length, is an essential medical device designed to provide temporary vascular access.
It is primarily used for patients requiring acute or short-term hemodialysis, plasmapheresis, or other extracorporeal blood purification treatments.
This catheter provides two separate channels for simultaneous arterial blood outflow and venous return, enhancing blood flow efficiency during treatment.
Its straight design and specific dimensions (11.5 French size and 160 mm length) make it suitable for various venous insertion sites, typically the internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral veins.
Manufactured under strict quality control, this catheter ensures patient safety and reliable performance in intensive care units and nephrology departments.

Benefits of Use

Provides immediate vascular access for urgent hemodialysis needs when permanent access is unavailable or ineffective.
Dual-lumen design allows for efficient and simultaneous blood withdrawal and return, facilitating effective treatment.
Biocompatible materials reduce the risk of adverse reactions and enhance patient comfort during the catheter's dwell time.
Designed for smooth insertion and secure fixation, minimizing potential complications.
Offers a sterile barrier against infection, crucial for immunocompromised patients.

How to Use

1. The catheter must be inserted by a trained medical professional using strict aseptic technique in a clinical environment.
2. Confirm patient identity and procedure.
3. Prepare the insertion site with an antiseptic solution according to hospital protocol.
4. Administer local anesthetic as needed.
5. Perform percutaneous venipuncture to access the target vein (e.g., internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral vein).
6. Advance the catheter over a guidewire, ensuring correct placement under X-ray guidance or using anatomical landmarks.
7. Confirm catheter tip position and patency of both lumens.
8. Secure the catheter to the skin using sutures or a catheter securement device.
9. Apply a sterile dressing over the insertion site.
10. Flush lumens with an appropriate anticoagulant solution (e.g., heparinized saline) per protocol to prevent thrombosis.
11. Monitor the patient for any signs of post-insertion complications.

Warnings and Precautions

• Strict adherence to aseptic technique is critical during insertion and maintenance to prevent catheter-related bloodstream infections.
• Do not resterilize or reuse this device; it is intended for single-patient use only.
• Improper insertion technique can lead to serious complications such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, arterial puncture, nerve damage, or cardiac tamponade.
• Regular flushing of lumens with anticoagulant is essential to maintain patency and prevent thrombosis.
• Monitor the insertion site daily for signs of infection (redness, swelling, pain, discharge).
• Avoid excessive force during insertion or manipulation to prevent damage to the catheter or vessel.
• Patients with known allergies to catheter materials should be carefully evaluated.
• This catheter is intended for short-term use; prolonged use increases the risk of complications.

Components/Materials

The catheter is typically manufactured from high-quality, medical-grade biocompatible polyurethane or silicone.
Some catheters may feature an antimicrobial coating to reduce the risk of infection.
The hub and extension lines are often made of polypropylene or other suitable medical plastics.
The catheter is supplied sterile and non-pyrogenic.
