Centros® Chronic Dialysis Catheter

Curved Tip™ Catheter Technology

Introducing Centros®, the next generation, self-centering, split-tip dialysis catheter from Dr. Stephen Ash.

The highly innovative 15F Centros catheter design features preformed curved tips, which automatically center the catheter ports within the middle of the vessel to maintain optimal blood flow and minimal recirculation rates, and enhance overall catheter performance.

Features:
  • Durathane® polymer material is resistant to alcohol and most commonly used site care agents
  • Preformed curved tips form a plane that intersects the SVC and keeps the ports in the middle of the vessel
  • Unique “guidewire slit” facilitates ease of over-the-wire insertion technique
  • Innovative tip design ensures minimal recirculation rate of 0.02%*
