Alta High Flow Recirculation Catheter
1

Durable Ultem™ luer connections decrease potential for cracking and increase cleaning solution compatibility.

2 Silicone extensions resist kinking due to repeated clamping
3 Clear molded hub provides excellent visualization
4

Superior kink-resistant design increases catheter placement flexibility, minimizes complications and permits catheter to follow torturous vessel routes into right atrium

5

Superior one-piece fabrications process and Sil-o-Flex™ silicone material

  • Eliminates attached tips, joints abrupt transitions and groves linked to blood wicking and subsequent tunnel bleeding
  • Combines excellent biocompatibility with extensive clinical history
  • Improves patient comfort, increase vessel and tunnel conformance, and minimizes vessel trauma
6

Dual-O lumenal design

  • Provides higher flow at lower pressures compared to older D-shaped designs
  • Allows faster fluid delivery, timely dialysis completion and reduced risk of dialysis treatment interruption
  • Offers simplicity of a single insertion
7 Optimally separated, free-floating distal tips with circumferential side holes increase margin of functionality and reduce recirculation
8 Consistently shaped internal round lumens provide smooth, optimal flow path to minimize lumen pressure fluctuations and reduce turbulence potential
Alta LR Tip Close-up Innovative retrograde tunneling facilitates insertion and precise catheter placement in the right atrium for maximum flow rate.
