The Exit-Pocket WP is a life-changing waterproof catheter dressing device allowing for complete catheter isolation from water.
Easy to apply by the individual with the catheter or port, the pocket minimises bacterial contamination risk & improves quality of life!
For a patient, a catheter implantation can limit your lifestyle in many ways, let alone when trying to avoid contact with water. When one of the major infection causes for a catheter dressing is water contact, it is extremely important that a catheter’s exit-site and lumen remain dry.
The WP pocket closed on four sides, provided with an adhesive hole to be fixed to the skin. Also available with an opening/closing system at the bottom of the pocket. It can be applied autonomously onto cleansed skin, without requiring assistance.
Designed for all catheter types and implant sites.
Key Benefits of Exit-Pocket WP
- Easy to apply - Does not require the assistance of a caregiver, giving the patient complete autonomy when managing their daily activities.
- A waterproof deisgn ensures Exit-Pocket WP completely protects key areas from water. Gain peace-of-mind from decreased infection risk, and enjoy life!
- The Exit-Pocket WP is easy to remove and doesn’t leave residue.

A high flow needle free connector, designed to reduce infection, handling and open catheter hubs.
Normally, double lumen catheters are opened/closed up to 12 times per week. Two lumens before dialysis, two lumens after dialysis, and three times per week. Each opening of the catheter lumen is a risk for catheter related bacteremia, by microbes entering the open catheter lumen. CitraValve is exchanged once a week, resulting in opening the catheter only 2 times weekly, which is a reduction of 6x openings of the catheter lumen per week. It reduces the risk of catheter related bacteremia, and it reduces handling by nurses. CitraValve is disinfected before connection to any luer-lock device (catheters, canules, infusion needles). All disinfection agents can be used.
- Straight fluid path accommodates flow rates of greater than 500 mL/min
- Remains in place during the entire haemodialysis treatment period
- Validated for continuous patient use for up to seven days
- Silicone seal remains closed when activated, closing the fluid path and eliminating blood exposure
With the use of CitraValve, closing the catheter clamp (2 on a double lumen catheter), is not necessary anymore as it prevents blood outflow or air inflow.

HEDclips are designed to make dialysis treatments safer for medical staff & patients.
These tubing clamps fit to clothing or bedsheets, reducing the risk of needle dislodgement. These can be used with only one hand!
HEDclips do not require sterilisation and can be cleaned with aqueous or hydro-alcoholic solutions with a cleanser (e.g. chlorine dioxide, peracetic acid, glutaraldehyde, benzalkonium chloride) However, if it comes in contact with blood or becomes soiled, it can be cleaned at temperatures from 100°C up to 130°C.
Reduces the risk of Venous Needle Dislodgement
A 2009 study was taken across 62 clinics in Sweden & the United Kingdom, after the EDTNA released educational guidelines on preventing VND, with tape of other practices.
Following the study, an overwhelming majority of nurses and patients preferred the use of HEDclip over taping - 13 different taping methods were tested overall. Only one patient preferred the use of tape, and nurses felt the HEDclip should be used for all patients in place of conventional tape.

An extremely durable tubing clamp made out of reinforced fiberglass plastic.
The KL20 replaces expensive stainless steel clamps with a durable alternative without sacrificing safety or stability. Not only has it got tremendous clamping force, it is also temperature resistant (autoclavable at 120º Celsius) & resistant to disinfectants. This also makes connecting & disconnecting catheters easier, due to its toothing & special construction. Made in Germany.
A durable repair clamp that saves catheters.
Constructed with world-leading Swedish technology, the RCM03 repair clamps is a must have accessory for your range of dialysis catheters. When clamps break, there's no need to replace the catheter which can be costly, both financially and emotionally for the patient.
