MAHURKAR DUAL- LUMEN[CURVED] COVIDIEN 1
The Mahurkar Dual-Lumen (Curved) catheter by Covidien is a specialised short-term vascular access device designed for haemodialysis and apheresis. It features two lumens within a curved extension design to fit central veins more comfortably. The catheter is constructed from a flexible polyurethane material to aid insertion and reduce discomfort.
This curved variant of the Mahurkar Dual-Lumen catheter is engineered to optimise flow rates and minimise recirculation during dialysis, thanks to its large “Double-D” internal lumen design. The material softens post-insertion to conform to vessel anatomy, improving patient comfort and reducing vessel trauma. Enhanced features such as laser-cut side slots help reduce the risk of occlusion and clot formation by minimising debris adherence. The curved extension configuration aids in positioning in the internal jugular or central veins for secure and effective access during acute dialysis or apheresis sessions.
