The Curl Cath Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) Catheter is designed to stay low in the pelvic gutter, resulting in less catheter migration
- The catheter has an outer diameter of 15 Fr
- It provides maximum internal diameter to allow for steady flow rates during peritoneal fill and drain times
- The catheter allows for comfort to 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
- The catheter features curled catheter segment which puts additional weight to further prevent internal catheter migration and minimizes patient inflow discomfort
- The radiopaque stripe allows for visualization and orientation of the catheter during placement and diagnostic imaging
- It is equipped with 2 felt cuffs which allows to fix the catheter subcutaneously and preperitoneally, establishing a natural infection barrier through tissue in growth
- The catheter is available in the lengths of 57 cm and 62 cm
