-?The Palindrome Symmetric Tip Chronic Dialysis Catheter is a pre curved catheter which reduces the likelihood of re-intervention, recirculation and positional occlusion, and promotes continuous flow between dialysis treatments
– It features an outer diameter of 14.5 Fr
-?It provides consistent flow rates of 450mL/min, exceeding K-DOQI guideline recommendations for access flow rates while minimizing the size of the catheter insertion site
-?The internal lumen design provides equal, consistent flow rates with low arterial and venous pressures
-?Its high tensile strength Carbothane material optimizes the inner diameter integrity, allowing for kink resistance, flexibility for placement and high flow rates
-?It also allows for quick visualization during diagnostic imaging
-?It is designed with a unique symmetric tip which allows continuous flow between dialysis treatments and reduces the likelihood of re-intervention
-?The laser-cut surfaces are smooth and decrease the likelihood of positional occlusion and clot formation by minimizing debris attachment
-?The side slots allow for flow through the catheter slot surface between dialysis treatments, which assists in keeping the tip patent
-?The clear silicone extensions with thermoset memory which resist kinking and crimping with repeated clamping and use, reducing blood flow inhibition
-?They come in a standard packing of 5 units per box
