Lifecath Twin
Biostable polyurethane haemodialysis catheter generally inserted in the internal jugular vein catheterization, for long-term haemodialysis.
Lifecath Twin is composed of 2 separate catheters made of biostable polyurethane, totally radiopaque, with distance markings from 4 to 21 cm. Both catheters have a Dacron cuff which becomes encapsulated by the subcutaneous tissue thus ensuring a very efficient fixation of the catheter. The distal end of the catheter features 6 lateral eyes for improved catheter performance.
The catheters are inserted through 2 peel-away Desilet introducers.
The Lifecath Lock proximal end allows:
-the retrograde tunnellisation of the catheter
-the adjustment of the length by the physician.
If the proximal end of the catheter is damaged, it can be replaced with a Lifecath Lock repair kit (code 1277.01/02).
Product benefits:
Tray presentation containing:
Flow rate Gravity (calculated for the complete catheter before the length is adjusted by the physician): 252 ml/min.
Flow rate pressure at 0.41 Bar (calculated for the complete catheter before the length is adjusted by the physician): 473 ml/min

Product benefits:
- Lifecath Lock offers a secure and unique fixation of the removable proximal end
- The 10 Fr catheters offer a flow rate superior to 400 ml/min
- Subcutaneous cuffs prevent accidental removal of the catheter
- 2 separate catheters reduce the risk of catheter occlusion
- Priming volume printed on the extra-cutaneous section of the catheter
- The 6 Fr peel-away Desilet offers the physician the possibility to insert Lifecath Twin with only one puncture.
