Medtronic Mahurkar Elite 12 Fr Dual Lumen Catheter Kit is a dual lumen vascular access catheter known for its ability to consistently achieve high flow rates, specifically up to 400 mL/min. The catheter is designed to provide reliable access to a patient's vascular system, allowing for efficient blood withdrawal and return, as well as the administration of medications and fluids.
Indications
Hemodialysis: This catheter is commonly used for hemodialysis, a medical procedure that involves filtering a patient's blood through a dialysis machine to remove waste products and excess fluid. The high flow rates of the Mahurkar Elite Lumen Catheter are crucial for efficient and effective dialysis sessions.
Apheresis: Apheresis is a medical procedure that involves the separation of specific blood components, such as plasma, platelets, or white blood cells. The high flow rates of this catheter facilitate the rapid and efficient separation and return of blood components during apheresis procedures.
Infusion: The dual lumen design and high flow rates of this catheter also make it suitable for the rapid and efficient administration of medications, fluids, or blood products when large volumes need to be delivered quickly. This is particularly valuable in critical care settings and specific medical treatments.
