Arrow Edge Antegrade-Tunneled Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter

Staggered V-Tip Design for Optimal Performance

The Arrow Edge Catheter is designed to provide optimal performance by delivering high flow rates, up to 400 cc per minute, at low pressures.¹ The crescent-shape of the catheter 's distal V- tip is designed to promote blood flow even if the tip is resting against the vessel wall.

Innovative V-tip design and catheter tip orientation minimise the risk of recirculation when placed in the right atrium²
Compatible with broad spectrum of antiseptic agents, including alcohol and iodine³
Kits feature Arrow SmartSeal Hemostatic Peelable Dialysis Sheath

The Arrow Edge^® Catheter is the antegrade version of and has the same tip design as the retrograde Arrow^® Cannon^® Catheter. Both catheters are designed for placement in the mid-right atrium.
Alcohol, alcohol-based solutions (e.g., Hibiclens^®, ChloraPrep^®), iodine-based solutions (Povidone-Iodine), PEG-based ointments (e.g., Bactroban^®), hydrogen peroxide or ExSept Plus^® are accepted for use with this catheter.

The Arrow Edge Antegrade-Tunneled Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter is indicated for use in attaining long-term vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis. The Arrow Edge Antegrade-Tunneled Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter is inserted percutaneously and is preferentially placed into the internal jugular (IJ) vein. Alternately, this catheter may be inserted into the subclavian vein although the jugular vein is the preferred site. Catheters greater than 40 cm are intended for femoral vein insertion.
