The Palindrome™ RT–Reverse-Tunneled dialysis catheter allows for precise tip placement and ideal tunnel trajectory using the retrograde tunnel technique.

Features and Benefits

REVERSE-TUNNELED DIALYSIS CATHETER TECHNOLOGY IN PRACTICE 

1. Precise tip placement

Compact symmetric catheter tip can be placed and positioned precisely in the right atrium. The combined RT technique and RT catheter tip design help maintain the catheter tip location in the right atrium.

2. Defined tunnel trajectory

Reverse-tunnel technique allows for precise placement of the catheter cuff in the tunnel tract after the tip has been placed. Proper tunnel and arc creation demonstrate model insertion techniques essential for optimal catheter placement.

3. “Click” hub connection assembly

Unique snap lock hub assembly facilitates attachment of the catheter to the back-end extensions, reducing the need for catheter manipulation after tip placement.

Use Case Examples

The Clinical Challenge: Precise Catheter Placement 

Precise catheter placement can present challenges, including: 

  • Poor tip positioning accounts for 20 percent of early catheter removals.
  • After insertion, early causes of low catheter blood flow rates include catheter malposition and mechanical problems such as kinking.
  • The skin surrounding the catheter insertion site is one of the most common sources of microbes that colonize central venous catheters.
  • Successful catheter performance depends on accurate catheter tip positioning.

Our reverse-tunneled catheter with unique symmetric tip design and precision tip technology facilitates precise tip and cuff placement and increased tip visualization
