Long Term Catheters
Symetrex
Green means GO! Symetrex combines RF tipping technology with a unique anti-wall suction design to produce a low recirculation, high flow catheter. Engineered and designed to preserve access.
Features & Benefits
- Symmetrical tip - Less than 1% recirculation in forward and reverse flow
- RF tipping - Smooth rounded edges with no side hole related issues
- Anti wall suction design - Designed for maximum surface area and increased fluid flow
- High Flow & Lower Pressure - 18% lower pressure gradient than Palindrome at a flow rate of 450mL/min
- Secure attachment - Easy grip tongs for ease of use and no force attachment barbs, which can cause damage to the tip
- Short Functional Tip - Significantly shorter than the competition
Hemo Cath LT
The Hemo-Cath double lumen catheter can be utilized for long term implantation where conventional means of access have been exhausted or are contraindicated. The flexible silicone conforms well to the vessel anatomy, resulting in higher patient tolerance during extended use. The catheter can be placed surgically or by the modified Seldinger technique.
Features & Benefits
- Silicone material provides biocompatibility and kink resistant.
- Ideal for extracorporeal therapies; dialysis, haemofiltration, apheresis and plasmapheresis.
- Implantable cuff allows for secure anchoring.
- Rotating suture wing provides secure external anchoring.
- 12.5FR diameter catheter allows access of smaller veins.
- Polyester cuff 23cm from distal tip (28cm catheter), 27cm from distal tip (32cm catheter).
- Round catheter permits easier insertion and less patient discomfort than oval designs.
- Less than 5% recirculation, due to strategically placed arterial return ports.
- Priming volume designation for ease of catheter maintenance.
- Valved Tearaway Sheath Introducer supplied with sets.
Hemo Flow
The Hemo-Flow™ double lumen high flow catheter can be utilized for long term implantation where conventional means of access have been exhausted or are contraindicated. The exclusive fully biocompatible polyurethane material conforms well to vessel anatomy, resulting in higher patient tolerance during extended use. This polyurethane design resists breakdown from betadine and alcohol.
Adequacy of dialysis, as measured by urea reduction, is directly related to mortality and morbidity in hemodialysis patients. High performance dialyzers and dialysis efficiency is tied to blood flow and venous backpressure. The 14.5FR Hemo-Flow high flow catheter provides high flows in excess of 400ml/mn. Low profile lumen to wall ratio in our dual lumen catheter is the key to enhanced flow. The thin wall polyurethane maintains kink resistance and kink recovery.
Features & Benefits
- Luminal design improves flow.
- Implantable cuff allows for secure anchoring.
- Suture wing provides secure external anchoring.
- 14.5FR diameter catheter allows high flow access.
- Round catheter permits easier insertion and less patient discomfort than oval designs.
- Less than 5% recirculation, due to strategically placed arterial return ports.
- Priming volume designation for ease of catheter maintenance.
- Valved Tearaway Sheath Introducer supplied with sets.
- Radiopaque polyurethane material.
Split Cath III
The Split Cath III (3rd generation) utilizes all the features and benefits of the original Split Cath along with the versatility of the new TRINIFLEX material. The soft, biocompatible TRINIFLEX material offers dramatic tensile strength and improved kink resistance when compared to silicone, carbothane & polyurethane catheters. Split Cath III is compatible with alcohol based and iodine disinfectants.
Features & Benefits
- Two free floating lumens improve patency and flow, and lowers recirculation.
- Material is both alcohol and iodine compatible, providing characteristics of strength, biocompatibility and kink resistance.
- Translumbar set includes long introducers and heavy duty wire.
- Version without sideholes to improve retention of catheter lock solutions, like DuraLock-C.
- Dual stylet version facilitates the over-the-wire approach.
- Tip-Hole Configuration: helps improve overall catheter performance and flow rates.
- Splitable Tips to required length : Two free floating lumens in the same vessel help improve flows and eliminate occlusion by the vein.
- Low Profile Cuff: Implantable cuff allows for secure anchoring.
- Priming Volume: Priming volume designations clearly printed on the catheter ID tags for ease of catheter maintenance.
- Rotating Suture Wing: Rotating suture wing provides secure external anchoring.
Titan
Born from innovative design, the Titan range combines giant clearance with improved patency, for effective dialysis treatments. The 15.5F double lumen, long term dialysis catheter incorporates a unique stepped tip, a rotatable suture wing, and advanced components to maximise patient comfort and durability.
The advanced design of the distal tip assists the insertion process, improve patency rates, and reduce the risk of arterial insufficiency.
Features & Benefits
- 90 degree angle of the arterial tip reduces risk of arterial insufficiency and improves the ability to hold locking solutions, like DuraLock-C.
- High flow rates in excess of 450 ml/min with excellent wall stability.
- Unique tip design allows for easy insertion over a guidewire or through an introducer sheath.
- Ergonomically shaped luers and suture wing combine comfort and strength.
- Cuff allows secure tissue in-growth.
