A dialysis guidewire is a thin, flexible wire used to guide the placement of dialysis catheters into large veins during haemodialysis. It provides a safe pathway for catheter insertion, reducing the risk of vessel injury and ensuring accurate placement.
Uses:
• Guides dialysis catheter insertion.
• Assists in safe vascular access using the Seldinger technique.
• Helps in catheter exchange or repositioning when required.
It is an essential tool for safe and effective haemodialysis catheter placement.
