Tenckhoff Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter

GENERAL FEATURES

Material: Made from medical-grade, biocompatible silicone rubber or polyurethane, chosen for their flexibility, durability, and minimal tissue irritation.

Design: The catheter has an internal (intraperitoneal) segment that sits in the abdominal cavity and an external (extraperitoneal) segment that exits the body.

Cuffs: One or two Dacron (polyester) cuffs are incorporated into the catheter's design. Tissue grows into the cuffs after placement, which helps to anchor the catheter in place, stabilize it, and create a barrier against ascending infection.

Inflow/Outflow Holes: The internal tip of the catheter has multiple diffusion holes to ensure optimal inflow and drainage of the dialysate solution.
