Everything You Need to Know About Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Kits: Types, Uses & Benefits

Peritoneal dialysis is a life-saving treatment for patients suffering from end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It provides an alternative to hemodialysis by using the patient’s peritoneum (abdominal lining) as a natural filter to remove waste and excess fluid from the body. Central to this process is the Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Kit, a specially designed medical tool that facilitates this form of dialysis safely and effectively.

In this guide, we’ll explore the types, uses, and benefits of peritoneal dialysis catheter kits, and how Surgikart offers reliable and quality-assured solutions for patients and healthcare providers alike.

Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Kit

What is a Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Kit?

A Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Kit is a sterile medical kit containing all necessary components required for the safe insertion and use of a peritoneal dialysis catheter. The catheter is inserted into the peritoneal cavity through the abdominal wall and allows dialysate fluid to flow in and out of the cavity, enabling the filtration of toxins.

Surgikart provides high-quality peritoneal dialysis catheter kits that are widely trusted in hospitals, dialysis centers, and for at-home care.

Types of Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Kits

There are different types of catheters and kits available based on the patient’s condition, dialysis modality, and care setting. The most common types include:

1. Tenckhoff Catheter Kits
   • The most commonly used catheter for chronic peritoneal dialysis.
   • Available in straight and coiled tips.
   • Surgikart’s kits offer both options with siliconized catheters for added comfort and flexibility.
2. Swan-Neck Catheter Kits
   • Designed to reduce catheter movement and potential leakage.
   • Often used in long-term or ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
3. Tunneled vs. Non-Tunneled Catheters
   • Tunneled catheters are placed under the skin and offer better protection against infections.
   • Non-tunneled catheters are more suitable for temporary dialysis or emergency situations.

Each kit by Surgikart comes pre-packed with the essential components including the catheter, clamps, introducer needle, guidewire, dilator, and antiseptic drapes.

Uses of a Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter Kit

The primary function of the peritoneal dialysis catheter kit is to facilitate the insertion and management of the catheter used in:

• Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD)
• Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD)
• Emergency Dialysis Needs
• Chronic Kidney Disease Management

Surgikart’s catheter kits are designed to simplify the insertion procedure and ensure maximum safety for the patient, minimizing risks such as infections, peritonitis, or catheter displacement.
