1. Adds an additional layer of safety to any method of insertion as in includes:
- Proprietary Safety needle that prevents injury of internal organs.
- Graded markings that tell the precise position of the instrument in the abdomen.
2. In addition, it has everything a physician would need to insert a catheter under local anesthesia (the least invasive method of inserting PD catheter for the patient).
- Avoids anesthesia and its accompanying risks.
- Minimal post-procedure pain (mostpatients require no pain meds postop).
- Quickest method to insert a PD Catheter (10 minutes average).
- Dialysis can start immediately after insertion: The tunnel is dilated to snugly fit the catheter, thus it prevents leaks from around the catheter.
4. The only kit that has everything you need to place a catheter at the bedside.
5. Catheter may be removed at the bedside in case of infection/problems: It is very easy to remove the catheter and insert a new one. The ENTABI PACK catheter has one subcutaneous cuff. That makes removing it very easy and minimally invasive similar to removing a tunneled hemodialysis catheter.
