Ken-Cath™ Pro Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter with Innovative Symmetric Tip design
KEY FEATURES
Symmetrical Design: The arterial and venous lumens have an identical structure and position at the catheter tip, unlike step-tip or split-tip designs.
High Flow Rates: These catheters are designed to provide consistent, high flow rates ensuring efficient dialysis.
Anti-Wall Suction: Many symmetrical tip catheters incorporate an anti-wall suction design (like a spiral or helical tip) to prevent the catheter tip from adhering to the vessel wall, which helps maintain continuous flow and reduces the risk of occlusion.
Reduced Complications: Studies have shown a lower incidence of low blood flow, thrombosis, infection, and fibrin sheath formation compared to traditional step-tip catheters, leading to longer catheter dwell times.
Placement Flexibility: The tip design often allows for greater flexibility during placement and ease of use over a guidewire, without requiring a stylet for insertion in some cases.
Material: They are often made from high-tensile strength, kink-resistant, and which optimizes inner diameter integrity and visualization during imaging.
