The Arrow® Hemodialysis Catheter Set (2-Lumen, 12 Fr × 20 cm) is designed to provide reliable, high-flow central venous access for short-term hemodialysis and extracorporeal therapies. Manufactured by Arrow (Teleflex), this catheter is engineered to support efficient blood flow rates required during dialysis while maintaining controlled insertion and secure positioning.
The dual-lumen configuration enables simultaneous arterial withdrawal and venous return through a single catheter, reducing procedural complexity and preserving vascular access sites. This catheter is commonly used in ICUs, dialysis units, emergency departments, and nephrology wards. Shah Trading Corporation, Mumbai is a trusted dealer and supplier for Arrow® Hemodialysis Catheter Set across India.
Key Features:
* Dedicated dual-lumen design for dialysis blood flow circuits * Large 12 Fr diameter to support high extracorporeal flow rates and 20 cm catheter length suitable for central venous placement * Optimized tip design for efficient inflow and outflow separation * Smooth polyurethane construction for controlled insertion * Radiopaque catheter for accurate imaging confirmation? * Supplied as a complete hemodialysis set for procedural readiness

Product Usage:
In real clinical practice, the Arrow® 12 Fr × 20 cm Hemodialysis Catheter is used when immediate vascular access is required for dialysis in patients with acute renal failure or those awaiting permanent access creation. One lumen withdraws blood to the dialysis circuit while the second returns filtered blood—allowing efficient treatment without repeated vascular cannulation. It is especially valuable in critical care and emergency dialysis scenarios.
Can this catheter be used for therapies other than hemodialysis?
Yes. It may be used for plasmapheresis or other extracorporeal treatments, as determined by clinical protocols.
Why is recirculation more critical in temporary dialysis catheters than AV access?
Temporary catheters rely on proximal arterial–venous port separation. Inadequate spacing can cause cleaned blood to be immediately withdrawn again, lowering dialysis adequacy.
How does blood viscosity affect performance in large-bore dialysis catheters?
Higher hematocrit or dehydration increases viscosity, requiring larger lumen diameters (12 Fr) to maintain prescribed flow rates without excessive negative pressures.
