Flex-Neck® Peritoneal Adult Catheters
|
Out-performs Conventional Catheters...
Meets Specifics Outlined by Dialysis Leaders
The Flex-Neck® Catheter may look like a regular Tenckhoff catheter - but it offers much more:
Infinitely variable tunnel/exit site capability: Special silicone blend offers superior flexibility, so the doctor can select the absolute best exit site for that patient.
Faster exchange rates - 30-33% faster*: The Flex-Neck® catheter offers the largest internal diameter of any peritoneal catheter on the market. (*In Vitro tests)
Consistent, quality flow rates: The unique design of the Flex-Neck® catheter offers four straight rows of alternating diameter holes— .75 mm to 1.1 mm— for optimal fill/drain.
Superior anchoring in rectus muscle: With a rectus cuff size of 7 mm (adult) and 5 mm (pediatric), the cuff can be totally encapsulated within the rectus muscle for better anchoring.
Competitive Pricing: The Flex-Neck catheter is available at a cost competitive with typical catheters and less than arcuate catheters.*
