MEDTRONIC USA Argyle Tenckhoff/Curl Cath Peritoneal Catheter Kits 8817278010 5 Each - MDL-SWD278010

Curl Cath Peritoneal Curled Catheter Kit with 1 Cuff, 60 cm

• The Curl Cath catheter, a modified Tenckhoff catheter, is suitable for acute or chronic peritoneal dialysis and intraperitoneal chemotherapy; it can be inserted either percutaneously or surgically
• Curl Cath catheter's additional mass keeps it low in the pelvic gutter; catheter's curled tubing and numerous inflow/outflow holes diffuse dialysate gently into the patient
• Curl Cath catheter is sterile and made of translucent, medical-grade silicone rubber with a radiopaque stripe; it has a 4.9 mm OD and a 2.6 mm ID; unlike polyurethane catheters, the Curl Cath can be extended or repaired if necessary, eliminating the need for costly catheter replacementcaused by external damage
• Felt cuffs anchor the catheter subcutaneously and help establish a natural infection barrier through tissue ingrowth; two cuff configurations are offered: 1 attached cuff in the preperitoneal position or 2 attached cuffs, one subcutaneous and one preperitoneal
• Curl Cath catheters are available in convenient catheter kits, which provide the necessary components for inserting the catheter by modified Seldinger technique; Each Kit features a 16 Fr Pull-Apart Introducer and Peritoneal Catheter Tunneling Stylet; Ultem adapter included in the packaging provides a tight closure with standard CAPD transfer sets
