Acute Hemodialysis

Acute Hemodialysis

Teleflex offers a wide range of acute haemodialysis and large bore catheters, with or without ARROWg+ard antimicrobial technology. Clinical studies demonstrate ARROWg+ard antimicrobial technology’s ability to reduce catheter related blood stream infections1. It reduces bacterial colonisation of the catheter by 44 percent and catheter-related bacteremia by 79 percent2.
