Palindrome SI Silver Ion Antimicrobial Coated Chronic Dialysis Catheter

The Palindrome SIilver Ion Antimicrobial Coated Chronic Dialysis Catheter reduces microbial colonization on the external surface of the catheter in the subcutaneous tunnel tract
The antimicrobial silver ions in the Palindrome SIilver Ion Antimicrobial Dialysis Catheter sleeve work to reduce the colonization of clinically relevant microbes on the external surface of the catheter in the subcutaneous tunnel tract
The unique silverolymer system delivers a controlled release of silver ions, which have been tested against a broad spectrum of recent clinical isolates and is specifically designed for the dialysis catheter environment
This silver ion antimicrobial sleeve, situated between the cuff and the hub, is permanently bonded to the catheter surface to ensure durability
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 Silver ion sleeve is up to 99.999% effective against a broad spectrum of recent clinical isolates
It minimizes microbial colonization on the catheter surface
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
