AngioDynamics, Inc. has just announced the launch of its new DuraMax stepped-tip chronic dialysis catheter, which utilizes the company’s proprietary Curved Tip Catheter Technology. AngioDynamics claims the new DuraMax catheter will result in easier insertion and better blood flow than existing options, and the catheter’s guidewire lumen will improve placement. In addition, the firm is also releasing the matching DuraMaxVP (VascPak) kit specifically designed for outpatient vascular access centers.
