Catheters
Single Lumen Catheters
The single lumen catheter represents an easy and safe vascular method of access, and has the same outstanding material characteristics as the Fresenius Medical Care double lumen catheters. The diversity of the single lumen catheters offers the possibility to find a suitable catheter for every patient, regardless if it is used as a single or double vascular access.
- Thermosensitve polyurethane - adapts to the conture of the vessel as the polyurethane heats to the body temperature
- Spirally arranged lateral openings - inhibit aspiration of the catheter to the vessel
Double Lumen Catheters
The geometry and the carefully selected materials of the Fresenius Medical Care double lumen catheters feature the safety and reliability of todays recommended standards and ensure a high durability.
- C-shaped body profile - high and continuous bloodflow for a good treatment eficiency
- Contra-laterally arranged inlet and outlet openings - reduce recirculation
High Flow Double- Lumen Catheters
Recent results indicate a clear reduction in mortality in CVVH-treatments with a high volume exchange. The high flow double-lumen catheter with a diameter of 14.5 French was designed for maximal bloodflow rates. The geometry of the high flow catheter and the characteristics of its materials safeguard a laminar flow at excellent flow-pressure ratios up to high bloodflow ranges and minimize the danger of hemodialysis.
- Double lumen geometry - low flow-resistance at high bloodflow rates
- Soft catheter tip - minimises the danger of vessel damage or perforation during catheter placement
