Two Unique Insertion Techniques

  • Standard insertion technique or Retrograde insertion technique

  • Allows for flexible insertion procedures for tip placement, precise cuff
    position, and tunnel creation


Split Tip Design


  • Provides high flows with low venous pressures

  • Lower rate of catheter occlusion1

  • Less than 1% recirculation at 350 ml per minute flow rate

  • Maintains high flows through the duration of the dialysis session


Removable Hub


  • Secures catheter after placement

  • Easy to remove and discard once cuff is secure


Tip-Hole Configuration


  • New tip-hole configuration helps improve overall catheter performance and flow rates

FlowGuard™ valved PTFE tearaway sheath


Valved Technology


  • Significant reduction in blood loss, when compared to standard tearaway sheaths

  • Reduces the risk of air embolism

  • Requires no change in technique


PTFE Material


  • Superior sheath to dilator transition and lubricious surface allows for easier insertion

  • Material properties allow for smooth and even peel-away after catheter placement


Additional Features


  • Locking hub to prevent dilator from “backing out” during insertion

  • Low profile handles
