Novel Catheter Design Promises Enhanced Flow with Fewer Complications
QUEENSBURY, N.Y.--(HSMN NewsFeed)--AngioDynamics (NASDAQ:ANGO ), a leading provider of innovative medical devices used by interventional radiologists, nephrologists and surgeons for the minimally invasive treatment of cancer and peripheral vascular disease, announced today that it launched Centros™, a self-centering, tunneled hemodialysis access catheter.
Designed by Stephen R. Ash, MD, FACP, a worldwide thought leader in the field of hemodialysis access, Centros represents a new approach for central venous dialysis catheters. The distal end of the catheter has a unique curved configuration; placed in the superior vena cava (SVC), its curved tips keep the ports of the catheter centered in the SVC, away from the vein walls. The tips of the catheter are not placed in the atrium, but in the lower third of the SVC.
