Bard HemoStar Long-Term Haemodialysis Catheter Straight 14.5FR x 23cm – C. R. Bard

The Bard HemoStar Long-Term Haemodialysis Catheter Straight 14.5FR x 23cm is a specialized vascular access device designed for patients requiring long-term haemodialysis treatment. Manufactured by C. R. Bard (BD), this catheter provides reliable vascular access for extracorporeal blood purification procedures in hospitals, renal care centres, and dialysis facilities.

Featuring a 14.5 French catheter diameter, 23cm tip-to-cuff insertion length, and straight configuration, the Bard HemoStar catheter is designed to support efficient blood flow during haemodialysis procedures.

The catheter is constructed from polyurethane material and features large internal lumens, a kink-resistant design, and a stepped tip configuration. These features support catheter performance and help facilitate placement during vascular access procedures.

The HemoStar catheter also features a guidewire channel, malleable tunneler, and AirGuard valved introducer to support controlled catheter insertion.

Designed for professional clinical use, the Bard HemoStar 14.5FR x 23cm Straight Haemodialysis Catheter is suitable for patients requiring tunnelled vascular access for ongoing dialysis treatment.
