Covidien 8811313015 Argyle Curl Cath Peritoneal Catheters Benefits

1. Provides maximum internal diameter to allow for steady flow rates during peritoneal fill and drain times.
2. Provides comfort for the patient by reducing the likelihood of skin abrasion at the exit site and not impeding patient mobility. It also reduces the risk of organ or intestinal damage during insertion or use.
3. Employs additional weight to further prevent internal catheter migration and minimizes patient inflow discomfort sometimes experienced with Tenckhoff catheter designs.
4. Allows for visualization and orientation of the catheter during placement and diagnostic imaging.
5. Anchor the catheter subcutaneously and preperitoneally, establishing a natural infection barrier through tissue ingrowth.
6. Available in catheters or kits to ensure the inserter always has the right tools for insertion in any setting (O.R. or I.R.).
