Dialysis

Covidien's range of catheters - Mahurkar* and Quinton*, complete programme at the forefront of technology.



Top quality for acute dialysis:

  • Quinton* single lumen
  • Mahurkar* double lumen
  • Mahurkar* triple lumen



Top quality for long-term dialysis:

  • Quinton* PermCath*
  • Mahurkar* Maxid*
  • Quinton Palindrome

 

QUINTON* Short-Term Vascular Access

This catheter line includes both dual and single lumen catheters designed to simplify access for acute haemodialysis. Dual Lumen Catheters are recommended for both acute haemodialysis and aphaeresis and are available with a variety of options. Our 8Fr Single Lumen Catheters offer a cost-effective alternative for acute haemodialysis. All catheters, kits and trays are double packaged; the inner package can be placed directly on the sterile field.

 

QUINTON* Long-Term Vascular Access

Three distinctive catheter options are available in the line for long-term vascular access for haemodialysis, aphaeresis and infusion. Our Dual Lumen Catheters are the original choice for both short- and long-term vascular access. They are also ideal for patients with limited peripheral vascular access, those who have a needle phobia, and for those whose fistulas are maturing. The 13.5Fr Cuffed Catheter provides long-term vascular access and is ideal for percutaneous insertion. All catheters, kits and trays are double packaged; the inner package can be placed directly on the sterile field.

 

The PALINDROME, a new bi-directional symmetrical catheter

 It is well documented that because of inadequate flows, reversal of dialysis ports is preformed. The common draw back of many current catheter designs is the high level of recirculation on reversal of ports leading to inadequate dialysis. The new Palindrome catheter has a revolutionary Spiral Z tip which allows reversal of dialysis ports while maintaining superior flows and negligible recirculation rates.
