Palindrome™ Precision Chronic Catheter - Symmetrical Tip
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
Catheter patency and survival
- 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
Confirm desired placement through visualization
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
