We believe that by focusing on the Peritoneal Dialysis catheter and its implantation, patients’ quality of life is improved and the entire Peritoneal Dialysis process is made easier

We give you CHOICE so PD access can truly be customized for each patient.

The Flex-Neck Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter System

Not all catheters are the same. Medigroup’s catheters out-perform conventional catheters and meet specifics outlined by dialysis leaders.

Flex-Neck Classic Catheters:

  • Traditional PD catheters with either a coiled or straight distal end
  • Uniquely designed to allow a choice of the most appropriate exit-site for the patient
  • Generally a good choice for patients who will have the exit-site above the beltline
  • Traditional "Tenckhoff" style catheter: straight inter-cuff segment, with either coiled or straight distal end
  • Available in four Adult sizes, each with 2 cuffs

Flex-Neck ARC Catheters:

  • Permanently bent catheters with a preformed arcuate angle, to provide a uniform caudally-directed exit-site
  • Generally a good choice for patients who will have the exit-site below the beltline
  • Swan-Neck Tenckhoff style: coiled distal end, bent inter-cuff segment
  • Available in three Adult sizes, each with 2 cuffs
Features Benefits

Exclusive, specially-designed Implantation Stencils included with each Flex-Neck Adult Catheter (Also available separately)
  • Implantation Stencils answer key questions regarding optimum catheter style, size, and implantation-site and exit-site location, relative to each patient’s unique physiology and needs.

Flex-Neck® Catheters are available in two styles, each available in three sizes (Classic Coiled, ARC™ Coiled; Small, Standard, Large)
  • Two style choices and three size choices mean that the physician can choose the optimum style and size for each patient, based on the patient’s unique physique, needs, and capabilities.
  • Classic Catheters are uniquely designed to allow a choice of the most appropriate laterally-directed exit-site for the patient, with its infinitely variable tunnel and exit-site capability.
  • ARC™ Catheters have a pre-formed, permanent 30° angle to facilitate a caudally-directed exit-site.

Largest I.D. of any PD catheter on the market
  • All Flex-Neck Adult Catheters have a larger inside diameter than conventional PD catheters, while keeping a similar outside diameter. This results in 30-33% faster exchange rates (in vitro tests).
