Description
Consistent Performance in a demanding field.
HighFlow sets the bar for tunnelized dialysis catheters.
Important Material Characteristics
- Allow for thin walls which maximize inner lumen diameters
- Strength while resisting kinks
- Material which is thermosensitive and compliant to optimize patient comfort
- Resist deterioration from alcohol and non-alcohol based antiseptics
Additional Features
- wider cuff allows for a larger tissue surface area for in-growth thus providing a more secure anchoring of the catheter
- french size, catheter body length and priming volumes appear on the catheter to facilitate quick reference
- available in a choice of a straight or pre-curved “IJ” design
Introducer Tray Key Features
- an improved tunneler flexible enough to allow excellent “shape-ability” yet provide sufficient strength for tunneling
- a superior safety scalpel which locks in place securely

Quality Improvement Initiative
As a quality improvement initiative for our Highflow CM-xxHFK and CM-xxHFKB catheter kits, the 15F non-valved peelaway introducer has been replaced with a suitable 15F valved peelable introducer. Once the valve is engaged, users will no longer have to hold their thumb over the exposed opening of the sheath to prevent blood loss or air embolism.
