Short term Hemodialysis catheter stright double fr11.5x160mm

Product Overview

The Short term Hemodialysis catheter, straight double fr11.5x160mm, is an essential medical device designed for establishing temporary vascular access.
It is primarily used in patients requiring acute or short-term hemodialysis, apheresis, or other extracorporeal blood purification therapies.
This catheter provides two distinct lumens for simultaneous arterial outflow and venous return, optimizing the efficiency of blood flow during treatment.
Its straight design and specific dimensions (French 11.5 size and 160mm length) make it suitable for various venous insertion sites, commonly the internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral veins.
Manufactured under strict quality controls, this catheter ensures patient safety and reliable performance in critical care and nephrology settings.

Benefits of Use

Provides immediate vascular access for urgent hemodialysis needs when permanent access is not available or functional.
Double-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 dwell time.
Designed for smooth insertion and secure placement, minimizing potential complications.
Offers a sterile barrier against infection, critical for immunocompromised patients.

How to Use

1. The catheter must be inserted by a trained medical professional using strict aseptic technique in a clinical setting.
2. Confirm patient identity and procedure.
3. Prepare the insertion site with an antiseptic solution according to hospital protocol.
4. Administer local anesthetic as required.
5. Perform percutaneous venipuncture to access the target vein (e.g., internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral).
6. Advance the catheter over a guidewire, ensuring proper placement under fluoroscopic guidance or 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 clotting.
11. Monitor the patient for any signs of complications post-insertion.

Caution & Warnings

• Strict adherence to aseptic technique is crucial during insertion and maintenance to prevent catheter-related bloodstream infections.
• Do not re-sterilize or reuse this device; it is 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 necessary 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.

Ingredients/Materials

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