Hemodialysis, Apheresis and Infusion
The MAHURKAR Chronic Silicone Catheter provides long-term vascular access for hemodialysis, apheresis and infusion. Its Double-D lumen design delivers equal, consistent blood flow rates of 350mL/min, as well as maintains low pressures from the arterial and venous catheter lines. The catheter is made of a soft, silicone material and is designed with a staggered tip to provide a 2.5cm separation between the arterial lumen and venous tip. The catheter is provided in a variety of insertion lengths to accommodate different patient anatomies and physician insertion practices.
13.5FR outer diameter | Provides consistent flow rates of 350mL/min, meeting K-DOQI guideline recommendations for access flow rates while minimizing the size of the catheter insertion site. |
Double-lumen design | Delivers equal and consistent flow rates with low arterial and venous pressures. |
Soft silicone rubber | Silicone rubber provides comfort for the patient by reducing the likelihood of skin abrasion at the exit site and minimizes interference with patient mobility. It also reduces the potential risk of vessel trauma during insertion and use. |
Radiopaque, silicone material | Silicone material allows for quick visualization during diagnostic imaging. |
Large, laser-printed priming volumes | Priming volumes are clearly located on adapter priming volume sleeves. Allow for easy catheter maintenance and accurate record keeping. |
Clear silicone extensions | Silicone extensions with thermoset memory resist kinking and crimping with repeated clamping and use, reducing blood flow inhibition. |
Ultem Adapters | Ultem* Adapters are made from a high strength resin material, which resists cracking and breakage with repeated use and exposure to cleaning agents. |
Clearly marked catheter identification | Catheter identification is clearly located on catheter extension clamps to ensure easy viewing and accurate record keeping. |
Large, flexible silicone suture wing | Suture wing positions sutures away from exit site, thus reduces pulling and tugging while reducing the likelihood of infection and stress on the exit site. Also facilitates cleaning and visualization of the exit site. |
2.5cm separation between the arterial lumen and the venous lumen tip | Prevents recirculation of blood between ports in the forward flow position during use, optimizing efficient treatment. |
Multiple insertion lengths | Available in 19cm, 23cm, 28cm and 33cm lengths to facilitate use in various insertion sites and patient types. |
May be implanted in the jugular, subclavian or femoral vein | Supports various patient anatomy and physician placement techniques. |
Cleaning agent compatibility | The MAHURKAR* Chronic Silicone Catheter can be safely cleaned with Aqueous-Based Povidone Iodine. |
