Peritoneal catheters are essential medical devices used primarily in peritoneal dialysis (PD), a treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). At LAC Health, our category features high-quality, sterile peritoneal catheters designed for safe and effective fluid exchange in the peritoneal cavity. These catheters facilitate the removal of waste products and excess fluids from the blood, offering an alternative to hemodialysis for patients requiring renal replacement therapy.
Our peritoneal catheters are crafted from biocompatible materials such as silicone or polyurethane, ensuring minimal tissue irritation and long-term durability. Key features include multiple cuff designs for secure anchoring, adjustable lengths for patient-specific fitting, and various lumen configurations (e.g., single or double lumen) to accommodate different dialysis protocols. Sizing options range from pediatric (e.g., 8-10 Fr) to adult (e.g., 15-17 Fr), with lengths typically between 40-60 cm, allowing healthcare providers to select the appropriate catheter based on patient anatomy and clinical needs.
Clinically, peritoneal catheters are utilized in hospitals, surgical centers, clinics, long-term care facilities, and home health settings. In acute care environments, they support continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) or automated peritoneal dialysis (APD). For home care patients, these devices enable self-administration, improving quality of life and reducing hospital visits. They are also employed in veterinary medicine for similar renal therapies in animals.
All our peritoneal catheters comply with stringent regulatory standards, including FDA clearance for medical devices, ISO 13485 certification for quality management systems, CE marking for European conformity, and ASTM standards for material safety. This ensures reliability and safety in clinical applications, meeting the needs of medical professionals and institutions worldwide.
Selecting the right peritoneal catheter involves considering factors such as patient age, body size, dialysis modality, and comorbidities. Our sizing guides provide detailed measurements and recommendations, while material choices include options for enhanced biocompatibility or radiopacity for imaging. We offer comprehensive support through our expert team to assist in product selection.
For bulk ordering, LAC Health provides significant benefits, including volume discounts starting at 10+ units, contract pricing for large-scale purchases, and minimum order quantities (MOQs) tailored to institutional needs. This makes our products ideal for wholesalers, hospitals, and clinics stocking supplies for ongoing dialysis programs.
Technical documentation is readily available, including Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for handling and storage, Instructions for Use (IFU) for implantation and maintenance, and certificates of compliance. These resources ensure proper usage and regulatory adherence, supporting safe patient outcomes.
In summary, LAC Health’s peritoneal catheters deliver superior performance, compliance, and value for medical professionals seeking reliable solutions for peritoneal dialysis. With fast shipping options and dedicated customer support, we cater to the diverse needs of healthcare providers, from individual practitioners to large institutions.
