Hemodialysis Catheter Kit

Single Lumen hemodialysis catheter has one central hole through which the blood is withdrawn and returned to the patient during the hemodialysis procedure. It is suitable for patients who require temporary vascular access for hemodialysis, and its size typically ranges from 6.5 Fr to 12 Fr. The single lumen catheter is inserted into the jugular, subclavian, or femoral vein, depending on medical criteria and patient size.

Double Lumen hemodialysis catheter has two large bore lumens that enable blood to flow out of the patient and into the dialysis machine before returning it to the patient. This configuration enables the machine to create a complete circuit for the removal and return of blood during treatment. With a maximized internal diameter, double lumen catheters provide consistent and equal flow rates, making them ideal for patients requiring high blood flow rates.

Triple Lumen hemodialysis catheter has three lumens, two for blood access and return, and one independent port for the administration of medication or fluids between treatments. This design allows for more versatile usage, especially in critical care settings where multiple interventions may be required. Triple lumen dialysis catheters are typically used for patients who require frequent blood draws or medication administration during dialysis treatments.

Polyurethane Catheter (PU catheter) is a flexible, biocompatible catheter made from polyurethane material that provides excellent durability and biostability. It is designed to resist kinking and collapse, ensuring consistent and effective blood flow while performing dialysis treatments. The PU catheter is also radiopaque, which allows for easy visualization during placement and monitoring.

Vessel Dilator is a medical device used in the placement of hemodialysis catheters. It is a tapered plastic rod that is used to dilate the vein and make it easier to thread the catheter into the desired location. The dilator is gently inserted into the vein and then removed, leaving the larger opening for the catheter to be inserted.

Guidewire is a thin, flexible wire that is used to guide the catheter through the veins and into the correct position. It is typically made of stainless steel or nitinol, and comes in various lengths and diameters to accommodate different patient sizes and insertion sites. The tip of the guidewire is designed to navigate through the veins with minimal resistance and trauma

Clamp is a device used in hemodialysis catheter sets to temporarily interrupt the flow of fluid or blood. It is usually made of plastic or metal and can be opened or closed by squeezing or releasing a lever. The clamp can be used to prevent backflow of blood or to facilitate catheter connection and disconnection.

Disposable Syringe (5ml Luer Slip) is a sterile, single-use syringe designed for the safe and accurate delivery of medication or fluid. Its luer slip tip securely attaches to the catheter or extension line and its clear barrel allows for easy and precise measurement of the desired volume. The syringe is designed to reduce the risk of contamination and cross-infection during dialysis.

Injection Cap is a small plastic cap that is used to cover the end of the catheter when it is not in use. It is designed to provide a sterile barrier and prevent contamination. The injection cap is also used to allow medication or other fluids to be administered directly into the catheter.

Introducer Needle (18G) is a sharp, hollow needle used to puncture the skin and underlying tissue to access the blood vessels. It is part of the hemodialysis catheter insertion set and is used to create an entry point for the guidewire and catheter. The needle is typically removed once the guidewire is inserted, leaving the guidewire in place for the catheter to be advanced over.

Scalpel (#11) is a surgical instrument that is included in dialysis catheter kits to facilitate catheter insertion. It is a small, sharp knife with a pointed blade that is used to make small incisions in the skin. The scalpel is designed for precision cutting and is commonly used in medical procedures that require a high degree of accuracy.
