Short-Term Hemodialysis Catheter (FR12x160mm)

The short-term hemodialysis catheter, specifically designed as a straight dual-lumen catheter with dimensions of 12 French and a length of 160 mm, is an essential medical device providing temporary vascular access for hemodialysis procedures.

This high-quality catheter is crucial for patients requiring immediate and efficient access for renal replacement therapy, as often seen on leading e-commerce platforms such as NahdiOnline, , and .

Benefits of Use

• Provides immediate and reliable temporary vascular access for hemodialysis.
• Dual-lumen design allows efficient arterial and venous blood flow, optimizing hemodialysis treatment.
• Straight catheter configuration facilitates ease of insertion and patient comfort.
• Reduces the need for repeated venipunctures, improving patient experience and safety.
• Designed for short-term use, making it ideal for acute kidney injury or while awaiting maturation of permanent access.

How to Use

This medical device must be inserted and managed by a trained healthcare professional in a clinical setting.

1. Ensure strict aseptic technique is maintained throughout the insertion procedure to minimize the risk of infection.
2. Identify the appropriate insertion site, typically the subclavian, internal jugular, or femoral vein.
3. Prepare the insertion site according to standard sterile protocols, including skin disinfection and sterile draping.
4. Perform local anesthesia as needed.
5. Using ultrasound guidance or anatomical landmarks, insert the catheter into the chosen vein.
6. Advance the catheter until the tip is correctly positioned, typically in the superior vena cava for jugular/subclavian access.
7. Confirm catheter placement via chest X-ray or other appropriate imaging techniques.
8. Secure the catheter to the skin using sutures or an adhesive device.
9. Flush both lumens with an anticoagulant solution (e.g., heparinized saline) according to institutional protocol.
10. Cover the insertion site with a sterile dressing.

Warnings & Precautions

• Infection Risk: Maintain strict aseptic technique during insertion and maintenance to prevent catheter-related bloodstream infections.
• Thrombosis/Occlusion: Risk of clot formation within or around the catheter. Regular flushing and proper lock solution management are essential.
• Air Embolism: Ensure all connections are secure and lumens are properly clamped when not in use to prevent air entry.
• Malposition: Incorrect positioning of the catheter tip can lead to ineffective dialysis or vascular irritation. Confirm placement after insertion.
• Bleeding/Hematoma: Potential for bleeding at the insertion site, especially in patients with coagulopathies.
• Vascular Injury: Risk of vessel perforation or injury during insertion.
• Single Use Only: This device is intended for single use only. Do not resterilize or reuse.
• Sterile Product: Do not use if the sterile packaging is opened or damaged.
• Professional Use: For use by qualified medical professionals only.
