Catheters For Hemodialysis

Hemodialysis catheters are catheters that provide temporary vascular access for hemodialysis until a permanent access is available or until another type of dialysis therapy is substituted. The multiple lumen catheters contain two large bore lumen that are connected to the dialysis machine to form a complete circuit for the removal and return of the patient‘s blood during treatment. intra offers two- and three-lumen catheters for subclavian-jugular-femoral application. The radiopaque, thermosensitive and anti-kinking PUR-material with a blue soft-tip guarantees a high biocompatibility. It is extremely smooth and has a non-thrombogenic surface. The catheters are semirigid at room temperature and get softer when reaching body temperature thus minimizing the possibility of vessel wall injuries. It allows also the catheter to remain for extended periods in the body. The catheters are intended for percutaneous introduction using the Seldinger Technique. The catheter can be changed using the existing puncture.
