Introducer Needle

An Introducer Needle is a medical needle used to create initial access into blood vessels or body cavities, typically as part of procedures like catheter placement or central venous access.

Key Features:
Sharp, hollow needle for easy penetration
Often used with a guidewire or catheter
Available in various gauges and lengths
Sterile and single-use

Uses:
Used in vascular access procedures (e.g., inserting dialysis catheters)
Helps introduce guidewires or sheaths safely into vessels
Common in central line placement, angiography, and interventional procedures

Dialyser

A Dialyser, also known as an artificial kidney, is a medical device used in hemodialysis to filter waste, toxins, and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys are not functioning properly.

Key Features:
Contains semi-permeable membranes (usually hollow fibers)
Made from biocompatible materials
Available in various sizes and surface areas for patient-specific needs
Single-use and sterile

Uses:
Removes urea, creatinine, and excess fluids from the blood
Maintains electrolyte balance
Essential part of hemodialysis machines
Used in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or acute kidney failure

Heparin Sodium Injection

Heparin Sodium Injection is a sterile solution containing heparin, an anticoagulant (blood thinner) used to prevent and treat blood clots in the body.

Key Features:
Contains heparin sodium, measured in units/mL (e.g., 1000–10,000 units/mL)
Available in vials or prefilled syringes
Administered intravenously (IV) or subcutaneously
Fast-acting and reversible with protamine sulfate if needed

Uses:
Prevents and treats deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE)
Used during dialysis, surgery, and catheter procedures to prevent clotting
Helps maintain patency of IV lines and central venous catheters

0.9 % Sodium Chloride Solution

0.9% Sodium Chloride Solution, also known as Normal Saline, is a sterile, isotonic intravenous (IV) fluid used in medical treatments.

Composition:
0.9 grams of sodium chloride (NaCl) per 100 mL of water
Equivalent to 9 grams per liter (g/L)
Osmolality similar to human blood (isotonic)

Features:
Clear, colorless, sterile solution
Available in various volumes (100 mL to 1000 mL)
Packaged in plastic or glass IV bags or bottles
Can be used with injection systems, IV lines, or for wound irrigation

Uses:
IV fluid replacement for dehydration and electrolyte balance
Diluting or mixing medications for IV infusion
Wound cleaning and irrigation
Flushing catheters and IV lines

Disposable Luer Lock Syringe

A Disposable Luer Lock Syringe is a single-use medical syringe designed with a Luer lock mechanism that securely connects the syringe to a needle or other device.

Features:
Luer lock tip allows secure, twist-lock connection with needles or tubing
Made of medical-grade plastic
Comes in various volumes (e.g., 1 mL, 5 mL, 10 mL, 20 mL)
Clear barrel with measurement markings for accurate dosing
Sterile and single-use to prevent cross-contamination

Uses:
Used to inject or withdraw fluids in medical procedures
Common in IV therapy, vaccination, anesthesia, and dialysis
Ensures a tight, leak-free connection for safety and precision

SS Guidewire

SS Guidewire (Stainless Steel Guidewire) is a thin, flexible wire used in various medical procedures to guide the placement of catheters, stents, or other medical devices within the body’s vessels.

Features:
Made of high-quality stainless steel for durability and flexibility
Often has a flexible tip to reduce trauma to blood vessels
Available in different lengths (commonly 150–180 cm) and diameters
May have PTFE (Teflon) coating for smoother navigation
Sterile and disposable in most cases

Uses:
Used in hemodialysis for inserting catheters
Helps in vascular, urology, and cardiology procedures
Allows safe and accurate access to internal vessels or organs

Long Term Hemodialysis Catheter Kit

Long Term Hemodialysis Catheter Kit is a medical device set used to establish durable vascular access for patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis.

Features:
Includes a tunneled, cuffed dual-lumen catheter
Designed for long-term use (weeks to months)
Made from biocompatible materials (e.g., silicone or polyurethane)
Comes with essential insertion tools: guidewire, dilator, introducer needle, peel-away sheath
Allows high blood flow rates for effective dialysis
Cuff helps secure the catheter and reduce infection risk

Uses:
Provides central venous access (typically via jugular or subclavian vein)
Used when AV fistula or graft is not feasible
Enables regular hemodialysis treatments for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD)

Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter

A Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter is a soft, flexible tube inserted into the abdomen to allow fluid exchange during peritoneal dialysis, a treatment for kidney failure.

Features:
Made of silicone or polyurethane
Coiled or straight tip designs
Dacron cuffs to secure placement and prevent infection
Multiple side holes for smooth fluid flow

Uses:
Used to instill and drain dialysis fluid from the peritoneal cavity
Helps remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the body
Enables home-based dialysis (CAPD/APD)

Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter

A Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter is a flexible, soft tube surgically placed into the abdomen to allow for peritoneal dialysis, a treatment for patients with kidney failure.

Features:
Made of biocompatible materials like silicone
Has multiple side holes for efficient fluid exchange
Includes cuffs to anchor the catheter and reduce infection risk
Available in straight or coiled designs
Can be tenckhoff type, which is commonly used

Uses:
Instills and drains dialysis fluid into and from the peritoneal cavity
Enables the removal of waste, toxins, and excess fluids through the peritoneum
Used in Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) or Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD)
Allows at-home dialysis with proper training

Fresenius Bibag 650G
