The Medcomp® Hemo-Cath® ST Silicone Double Lumen Catheter can be utilized for temporary access for hemodialysis, hemoperfusion or apheresis therapy. The cannula may be inserted via the Seldinger technique due to the inner Teflon stylet, increasing linear strength. The stylet is removed after insertion, leaving the soft silicone cannula in the body. The flexible silicone make-up conforms well to the vessel anatomy, resulting in higher patient tolerance during extended use.
