Pertioneal Dialysis
The Argyle Swan Neck Tenckhoff Catheter is different from other catheters due to a pre-formed 180° angle designed to keep both the internal and external portions of the catheter positioned downward. The catheters are intended to keep the internal portion from migrating out of position and to decrease stress on the exit site by the external portion, which often occurs when a straight catheter is manually curved during placement.
15Fr Outer diameter | Provides maximum internal diameter to allow for steady flow rates during peritoneal fill and drain times. |
Highly kink-resistant, silicone material | Provides comfort for the patient by reducing the likelihood of skin abrasion at the exit site and not impeding patient mobility. It also reduces the risk of organ or intestinal damage during insertion or use. |
Pre-formed 180° Swan Neck angle | Directs the internal portion of the catheter downward, keeping it from migrating out of position and resulting in a decrease in stress on the exit site. This positions the external portion of the catheter downward, preventing debris from collecting at the exit site. |
Radiopaque stripe | Allows for visualization and orientation of the catheter during placement and diagnostic imaging. |
Felt cuffs | Anchor the catheter subcutaneously and preperitoneally, establishing a natural infection barrier through tissue in growth. |
Multiple catheter configurations | Available in catheters or kits to ensure the inserter always has the right tools for insertion in any setting (O.R. or I.R.). |
