Comparison of Tesio and LifeCath Twin Permanent Dialysis Catheters
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating TesioCath and LifeCath Twin for Hemodialysis. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study aims to compare two available types of central venous haemodialysis catheters (lines) - CVCs, and will examine how easy they are to insert, complications, blood flow on dialysis over time, line loss, line clotting and infective events. It will examine whether the LifeCath type of CVC can deliver high blood flow rates from first use after insertion and equivalent function and complication rate to the Tesio type of CVC that is in use in our centre already. Complications relating to dialysis access make up 30% of admissions for haemodialysis patients and so this is a study that could benefit patients and their care providers.
