AngioDynamics has launched the redesigned Centros self-centering, chronic hemodialysis access catheter. It is a 15 French dual lumen radiopaque catheter with a polyester cuff and preformed curved tips, which automatically center the catheter ports in the middle of the vessel and away from the vein walls, optimizing blood flow and minimizing recirculation.
It is purposed for long-term hemodialysis and apheresis through the internal jugular vein, with the catheter tip located in the superior vena cava. A special guide-wire slit in the tip of the catheter ensures easy over-the-wire insertion.
