A hemodialysis catheter is a medical device used to provide access to the vascular system for hemodialysis, a procedure used to treat kidney failure. It is a long, thin tube that is inserted into a vein or artery in the neck, chest, or arm. The catheter is connected to a dialysis machine, which filters the blood and removes waste products. The catheter is typically left in place for several weeks or months, depending on the patient's condition. Hemodialysis catheters are typically made of silicone or polyurethane and are available in a variety of sizes and shapes. They are designed to be comfortable and easy to use, and they are often equipped with features such as anti-clotting agents and anti-infective coatings.
