CentrosFLO ® long-term hemodialysis catheter

Features and benefits

Centered on performance

Merit Medical high-performance CentrosFLO ® long-term hemodialysis catheter into account when the design performance, security and ease of use.New self-centering curved tip catheter in the arteries and veins have greater separation between tip.It is designed to optimize catheter unobstructed, and keep in the center of the blood vessels through the catheter tip and away from the vessel wall to reduce the fibrin sheath formation, thrombosis, and vascular wall block.Fibrin sheath is a common cause of catheter dysfunction, in a remove or replace the study of hemodialysis catheter, 76% of patients with fibrin sheath.^{1, 2, 3}CentrosFLO specially designed for performance, safety, and ease of use.

Preforming curved tip

In the superior vena cava (SVC) and right atrium (RA) border stability and center pipe.

The distal side holes veins and arteries

Reduce pressure in the tube cavity and catheter tips to the possibility of blood vessel walls.

Ouchi cavity

Allows velocity of up to 450 mL/min.

security

Noninvasive catheter tip design

Minimize piercing or blood vessel walls stimulates.

Non traumatic tube tunnels

To load faster catheters, and won't cause risk to the catheter tip.

A variety of tube length configuration

To adapt to the changes in patients with anatomical structure.

The results of the study

Dr Sarvan Balamuthusamy recently conducted a retrospective study compared the self-centering split cutting-edge hemodialysis catheter tunnel and the performance of the symmetric tip catheter.The results show that the split self-centering tip catheter after 3 months are statistically higher patency rate, a slight advantage in clearance and blood flow.⁴
