Palindrome™ Precision Coated Catheter
CHRONIC HEMODIALYSIS ACCESS

Palindrome Precision Coated Catheters

Innovative coatings integrated with a legacy chronic catheter design you can count on. Explore a proactive approach to dialysis access patency.

Overview

Coated catheter technology

Implement an approach that addresses catheter-related complications head-on. Offer your patients innovative coating options that support their long-term dialysis needs.

Incorporating the dependability of the PalindromeTM chronic catheter design, including:

  • Symmetric tip design – with minimal recirculation1
  • Marker band visualization2
  • Laser-cut side slots
  • Over-the-wire insertion technique3
  • Sport pack and kit options

Providing protection directly where it's needed.

The Palindrome™ Precision H chronic catheter contains non-eluting heparin coatings to address tunneled dialysis catheter-related clotting, thrombosis and dysfunction.

Antithrombogenic and non-thrombogenic catheter coatings — external (tip to cuff) and internal (tip to adapter)4.†:

  • Reduce platelet adhesion on the catheter surface
  • Reduce thrombus accumulation
  • Reduce the likelihood of clot formation

Palindrome Precision SI Chronic Catheter – Silver Ion

Addressing catheter exit site and tunnel infection

The Palindrome™ Precision SI chronic catheter offers a silver ion sleeve coating located on the external tunnel track (cuff to hub).

Testing demonstrates:

  • Reduced broad-spectrum cather surface microbial colonization (15+ days)5,†
  • Controlled release — delivering sustained silver-ion elution (up to 30 days)6,†
  • Lowered rate of reintervention for infection and thrombosis (compared to similarly coated catheters)7,†

Palindrome Precision HSI Chronic Catheter – Heparin, Silver Ion

A proactive and comprehensive approach to addressing dialysis catheter dysfunction and complications.

Incorporating the heparin coatings and silver ion sleeve, the Palindrome™ Precision HSI-Heparin Coated and Silver Ion antimicrobial dialysis catheter is the premier dialysis catheter.

Featuring the combined benefits of:

  • Limiting platelet adhesion on the catheter surface4,†
  • Reducing dialysis catheter related thrombosis4,†
  • Reducing broad-spectrum microbial colonization on the catheter surface (15+ days)5,†
  • Lowering catheter-related infection and thrombosis reintervention rates (compared to similarly coated catheters)7

Important safety information
Palindrome™ Precision HSI–Heparin Coated & Silver Ion Antimicrobial Dialysis Catheter

The Palindrome™ Precision HSI chronic catheter with heparin coating and silver ion subcutaneous sleeve is intended for acute and chronic hemodialysis, apheresis, and infusion. It may be inserted either percutaneously or by cutdown.

The device is contraindicated in thrombosed vessels or for subclavian puncture when ventilator is in use. This product should not be used in patients with documented hypersensitivity to silver, heparin or porcine based products. Heparin coated catheters should not be used in patients with severe thrombocytopenia, uncontrollable active bleeding disorders, or with skin necrosis from previous heparin use. In case of infection, the silver in the catheter does not replace the need for using systemic anti-infective agents.
Clinicians/healthcare professionals should be aware that there are very limited data on prolonged and repeated use of silver containing products and particularly in children and neonates.

See the device manual for detailed information regarding the implant procedure, indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and potential complications/adverse events.
