A double-lumen hemodialysis catheter, also known as a two-way catheter, is a catheter with two channels used for dialysis: 

• Injection: One channel is for injecting
• Fluid removal: The other channel is for removing fluids

Double-lumen hemodialysis catheters are often used as temporary routes for hemodialysis. They are typically made from polymers, such as polyethylene or polyurethane, and are inserted using the Seldinger technique. The length of the catheter depends on the insertion site: 

• Femoral routeCatheters are 30–35 cm long so the distal tip is in the inferior vena cava
• Internal jugular vein routeCatheters are 20–25 cm long so the tip is at the inferior vena cava–right atrium junction

Complications of central venous hemodialysis catheters include: infection, thrombosis, cardiac arrhythmia, entrapped guide wire, and malposition.

Features

Plug-and-play for immediate imaging

The plug-and-play simplicity and digital, solid state design of the Eagle Eye Platinum digital IVUS catheter provides a fast, easy approach for IVUS imaging. There is no motor drive, no moving parts, and no pullback device required. Additionally, you don’t have to worry about flushing or priming of the transducer before a procedure.

Improved lubricity

The improved GlyDx hydrophilic coating, applied to the distal portion of the catheter, provides increased lubricity and durability during use. The tapered tip and long rapid exchange lumen add pushability.*

Markers for length estimation

Relying on angiograms alone may make it difficult to estimate the length of bifurcation, ostial, and tortuous lesions. The Eagle Eye Platinum digital IVUS catheter features three radiopaque markers with 10 mm spacing facilitating length estimation without the need for a marker wire or pullback device. SyncVision’s co-registration measures accurate length even with a manual pullback.

SyncVision compatibility

The Eagle Eye Platinum digital IVUS catheter system is compatible with SyncVision co-registration which creates a three-way association between locations on the angiogram, longitudinal IVUS display, and tomographic IVUS frames. SyncVision simplifies vessel sizing, streamlines lesion assessment, and enables precise therapy delivery.Show all featuresDocumentationBrochure

Overview

The PleurX™ Pleural Catheter System

is indicated for intermittent, long term drainage of symptomatic, recurrent, pleural effusion, including malignant pleural effusions and other recurrent effusions that do not respond to medical management of the underlying disease.

The device is indicated for the palliation of dyspnea due to pleural effusion and providing pleurodesis (resolution of the pleural effusion).

 Play VideoENGLISH  Product Specification Product DescriptionThe PleurX™ catheter system provides effective at-home palliation of symptoms associated with recurrent pleural effusions and malignant ascites. This clinically proven treatment option allows patients to manage their symptoms through intermittent drainages in the comfort of their homes with minimal physician intervention
The BD Difference 
Taking Control
Patients suffering from recurrent pleural effusions and malignant ascites have faced extended hospitalisation, discomfort and time away from home with unscheduled visits to a physician's office or ER to relieve the pain and discomfort of fluid build-up. Patients now have an option that can allow them to take control of their symptoms in the comfort of their home.
The PleurX catheter system consists of a tunneled catheter, usually placed as an outpatient procedure, and vacuum drainage bottles that allow patients or their caregivers to drain their own recurrent pleural effusions or malignant ascites in the comfort of their own homes.
This helps eliminate the need for hospital visits for repeat paracentesis or thoracentesis. With the PleurX catheter system, you can help your patients spend more time at home and less time fitting into your procedural schedule.
Proven Outcomes
The PleurX System has been used in clinical settings for more than 15 years and has been the subject of more than 30 published clinical journal articles. For the treatment of recurrent pleural effusions, up to 70% of certain patient subgroups (~58% overall) experienced spontaneous pleurodesis.1 The PleurX catheter is also associated with low infection rates (less than 3%),1,2,3 country-specific coverage through insurance may apply.*
Product ImageFeatures and BenefitsActive vacuum technologyThe active vacuum technology lets patients drain quickly and comfortably without the need for gravity.Proprietary safety valveThe catheter valve keeps air or fluid from inadvertently passing through the catheter.Polyester cuffThe polyester cuff on the catheter promotes tissue ingrowth, helping reduce risk of infection and hold the catheter in place.

New indicationThe PleurX catheter can be used in place of a chest tube to deliver talc or bleomycin for chemical pleurodesis procedures.
