CONTINUOUS FLOW PERITONEAL DIALYSIS CATHETER

摘要

A continuous flow dialysis catheter (10) is disclosed. The catheter (10) includes a proximal portion having first proximal end (16), a first distal e nd (20), an intake lumen (12) and a return lumen (14). Each of the intake (12) and return lumens (14) extends between the first proximal end (16) and the first distal end (20). The catheter (10) also includes a connector portion fixedly connected to the first distal portion, wherein the return lumen (14) terminates at the connector portion. The catheter (10) also includes a dista l portion having a second proximal end (18), a second distal end (22), and a distal lumen extending between the second proximal end (18) and the second distal end (22). The second distal end (22) is fixedly connected to the connector portion such that the distal lumen and the intake lumen (12) are i n fluid communication with each other.
