Hi doctors! can you help me figure out which hemodialysis catheter to purchase?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tough question: If you're referring to permanent catheters they all function pretty well. Price is certainly an issue and sizes as well. You need to be able to place them in different sites (left or right). I've used a bunch of different brands and I have not found one to better than the others for flow rates or infection resistance.
