INNOVATION. QUALITY. OPTIONS.
This family of triple lumen catheters is indicated for hemodialysis, apheresis, infusion, central venous pressure monitoring and high pressure contrast injection. These catheters are available in straight extension and curved extension catheter options and kit, tray (IC Tray) and safety tray (PASS Tray) configurations.
The third lumen keeps an independent port ready for blood access and fluid or medication delivery between dialysis treatments. The catheters have a unique laser-cut side slot to minimize potential for positional occlusion and the likelihood of clot formation by minimizing debris attachment. The thermosensitive material provides optimal stiffness during insertion and softens up to 50% post-insertion for vessel conformity and patient comfort.
Features and Benefits
Features that provide exceptional performance:
- The Double-D™* lumen design maximizes internal diameter to provide consistent and equal flow rates.
- Ease of insertion and patient comfort — Thermosensitive material provides optimal stiffness during insertion and softens up to 50 percent after insertion for vessel conformity and patient comfort. The conical tip facilitates smooth transition through tissue.
- Adapters and extensions — Durable Ultem™* adapters and silicone extensions withstand repeated use.
Features that may help reduce patient complications:
Large, laser-cut side slots wrap around catheter shaft providing a large open area for fluid to flow.
MAHURKAR™ 12Fr high-pressure triple lumen catheter
Modified Double-D™ design maximizes area for high-flow rates in dialysis lumens :
- Third lumen (19G) facilitates infusion of fluid, blood products, and medication or blood sampling.
- Preserves patient vascular access and avoids the need for PICC line placements in CKD patients — in accordance with NKF-KDOQI guidelines.
- Soft, green, atraumatic tip is designed to reduce the likelihood of vessel trauma.
- Facilitates continuous renal replacement therapies ∙ Reinforced hub minimizes kinking in difficult vasculature.
MAHURKAR™ 13.5Fr high-flow catheter
This optimal high-flow catheter:
- Consistently achieves flow rates up to 450 mL/min1 in benchtop testing.
- Soft, green, atraumatic tip designed to reduce the likelihood of vessel trauma.
- Facilitates continuous renal replacement therapies.
- offers a reinforced hub designed to minimize kinking in difficult vasculature.
- Is radiopaque to facilitate visualization.
MAHURKAR™ 11.5Fr original short-term catheter
Features Include:
- Minimum French size (11.5Fr) coupled with Double-D™ lumen design to achieve consistent flow rates up to 350 mL/min in benchtop testing.
