Palindrome Heparin Coated Chronic Dialysis Catheter

The Palindrome Heparin Coated Dialysis Catheter is coated with a nonluting heparin coating, which employs both antihrombogenic and nonhrombogenic effects, decreasing the likelihood of clot formation and inhibiting fibrin sheath propagation
The Palindrome Heparin Coated Dialysis Catheter is indicated for hemodialysis, apheresis and infusion
It features an outer diameter of 14.5 Fr
It provides consistent flow rates of 450mL/min, exceeding KOQI guideline recommendations for access flow rates while minimizing the size of the catheter insertion site
The internal lumen design provides equal, consistent flow rates with low arterial and venous pressures
The heparin coating has a triplection formula:
Heparinntihrombogenic
Negative chargeonhrombogenic
Hydrophilicityonhrombogenic
These formulas are proven to reduce the likelihood of clot formation on the catheter surface and inhibit fibrin sheath propagation
Its high tensile strength Carbothane material optimizes the inner diameter integrity, allowing for kink resistance, flexibility for placement and high flow rates
It also allows for quick visualization during diagnostic imaging
It is designed with a unique symmetric tip which allows continuous flow between dialysis treatments and reduces the likelihood of rentervention
The laserut surfaces are smooth and decrease the likelihood of positional occlusion and clot formation by minimizing debris attachment
The side slots allow for flow through the catheter slot surface between dialysis treatments, which assists in keeping the tip patent
The clear silicone extensions with thermoset memory which resist kinking and crimping with repeated clamping and use, reducing blood flow inhibition
They come in a standard packing of 5 units per box
