ProGuide™ Chronic Dialysis Catheters

A stepped tip dialysis catheter with a thin-walled, double “D” lumen design allowing increased flow.

Count on the 14.5F ProGuideTM chronic dialysis catheter from Merit Medical.

The ProGuide catheter is made of Carbothane, a strong, radiopaque, kink resistant, biocompatible material for optimal patient comfort as well as ease of insertion and maintenance

Permits either a standard insertion using a valved peel-away sheath or over-the-wire insertion.

An easy to peel sheath with break-away hemostasis valve simplifies catheter insertion and reduces the risk of excess blood loss and air intake.

Helps stiffen the catheter and enhances over-the-wire insertion through the venous lumen.

A blunt-tip tunneler with sleeve facilitates subcutaneous tunneling and catheter insertion.

Easy to use plastic pinch clamps facilitate catheter care and maintenance with easy-to-read printed priming volumes.

Luer connections with large, ergonomically designed wings to optimize handling.

Thin-walled, double “D” lumen design allows maximum flow rates as high as 500ml/min. increasing dialysis efficiency at low pressures exceeding K-DOQI Guideline recommendations.

Available in 19cm, 23cm, 27cm, 31cm, 35 cm, and 50cm (Tip to Cuff) lengths to facilitate placement and use in various insertion sites and patient types.

Available as a stand-alone catheter, in a basic kit or a complete kit with or without the Merit MAK (Mini Access Kit).

Facilitates guide wire insertion depth and appropriate catheter length selection.

Provides a low-profile subcutaneous anchor to minimize the risk of dislodgement.

Allows flexibility to position the catheter and rotate the wing for secure external suturing.

The insert molded junction is compact and comfortable for the patient and clearly identifies catheter size and insertion length.

More options to help meet the needs of clinicians and patients.

The unique apposition deflection feature (“the bump”) is designed to minimize recirculation and optimize flow rates – even when positioned against the vessel wall

With intake and output lumens spaced 3.1 cm apart minimize recirculation and optimize dialysis treatment.

Merit Medical has a broad offering of dialysis accessories to compliment the ProGuide Catheter, including: Introducer Needles, Mini Access Kits, Guide Wires, Safety Scalpels, Thrombolytic Infusion Catheters, Sheath Introducers, Syringes and a variety of safety and waste management products.
