Mahurkar™* Acute Catheters
Building on a strong history of more than 30 years of dialysis catheter quality and innovation that began with the Mahurkar™* acute 11.5 Fr hemodialysis catheter, Mozarc Medical continues to provide innovative features to optimize patient benefits with short-term catheter use.
Reimbursement and procedure coding
Explore tools and guidelines to help your staff optimize the process of procedural CPT and HCPCS code selection — for hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and dialysis access maintenance.
Acute hemodialysis accessories and insertion tools
Pair catheter use with compatible short-term dialysis procedural tools and accessories for proper catheter placement and management.
Mahurkar™* Acute 8 Fr Dual Lumen Catheter
With curved catheter extensions ideal for internal jugular (IJ) vein insertions, the Mahurkar™* 8 Fr dual lumen catheters are designed for optimal acute dialysis catheter performance.1
The Mahurkar™* 8 Fr dual lumen catheter is indicated for hemodialysis, apheresis and infusion.†
Available in:
- Straight extension kits
- Curved extension kits
Mahurkar™* Acute 10 Fr Dual Lumen Catheter
With curved extensions ideal for internal jugular (IJ) insertions, the Mahurkar™* 10 Fr dual lumen catheters are designed for optimal acute dialysis catheter performance.1
The 10 Fr acute dual lumen catheters are indicated for hemodialysis, apheresis and infusion.† The catheters are available in:
- Straight extensions
- Curved extension
- Single and kit configurations
Mahurkar™* Acute 12 Fr High Pressure Triple Lumen Catheter
The catheter’s third lumen keeps an independent port ready for blood access, fluid or medication delivery between dialysis treatments. Indicated for hemodialysis, apheresis, infusion, central venous pressure monitoring and high pressure contrast injection.
- Laser-cut side slots
- No significant infection differences — similar outcomes for exit site and catheter-related blood stream infection compared to dual lumen2,3
12 Fr triple lumen acute catheters are available in:
- Straight extension
- Curved extension
- Kit, tray (IC tray) and safety tray (PASS tray) configurations

Important safety information
Mahurkar™* acute dual lumen catheter is intended for short-term central venous access for hemodialysis, apheresis and infusion.
Remove the catheter as soon as it is no longer needed and for femoral inserted catheters they should not be implanted longer than three to four days maximum per K-DOQI guidelines. Do not use catheter in thrombosed vessels or for subclavian puncture when a ventilator is in use.
