Palindrome Precision Chronic Catheter - Symmetrical Tip

Optimize catheter flow ― Reduce dialysis recirculation1,†

This Palindrome™ Precision dialysis catheter incorporates:

  • Symmetric tip
  • Laser-cut side slots
  • Double lumen with maximized inner lumen diameter
  • Unique marker band visualization
  • Use with VenaTrac™ insertion stylet ― over-the-wire insertion technique2
Performance outcomes (2 months)

Catheter patency and survival

PalindromeTM Precision Symmetric tip vs. Step tip comparisons
  • Higher survival: improve catheter survival by up to 21.8% (p=0.015) when compared to step tip catheter3
  • Lower incidence of catheter dysfunction:* when compared to a step tip catheter3
  • Lower Complications: minimize catheter– related complications by up to 41% (p=0.008) when compared to steptip catheter.3

Recirculation

Considerations in forward and reverse flow

Confirm desired placement through visualization

Use of marker band tech for proper position-checks

After insertion, malposition can be an early cause of low catheter blood flow rates.4 Yet, with careful attention to catheter tip position, early failure rates can be reduced.5

Palindrome marker band tech allows for increased visualization and accurate tip placement.6

Central venous catheter placement​

Review procedural planning and tunneled dialysis catheter insertion technique — for percutaneous antegrade placement in the right internal jugular vein (IJV).
