Argyle™* Pediatric Peritoneal Dialysis Catheters

A modified Tenckhoff catheter, the Argyle™* pediatric curl cath peritoneal catheter is suitable for pediatric patients, for acute or chronic peritoneal dialysis and intraperitoneal chemotherapy. It can be inserted either percutaneously or surgically. The additional mass of the Argyle™* pediatric curl cath peritoneal catheter keeps it low in the pelvic gutter, resulting in less catheter migration. The catheter’s curled tubing and numerous inflow/outflow holes diffuse dialysate gently into the patient.

The Argyle™* pediatric swan neck curl cath Missouri peritoneal dialysis catheter is suitable for pediatric patients.  The catheters’ design provides additional mass to keep it low in the pelvic gutter, resulting in less catheter migration. A silicone bead rests just inside the peritoneum and is designed to prevent dialysate leakage. The pre-formed 180° angle swan neck is designed to keep both the internal and external portions of the catheter positioned downward. They are intended to keep the internal portion from migrating out of position and to decrease stress on the exit site by the external portion, which often occurs when a straight catheter is manually curved during placement. The curled portion has numerous inflow/outflow holes to diffuse dialysate gently into the patient.

Argyle™* pediatric Tenckhoff catheters are suitable for pediatric patients and are used for short-term and long-term peritoneal chemotherapy.  They are standard peritoneal catheters that come in a variety of lengths and cuff configurations to include one (1) attached cuff or two (2) attached cuffs.
