The Arrow-Clark™ VectorFlow® Catheter is a symmetrical-tip, tunneled hemodialysis catheter designed to provide sustained high flows,1 reduce loss of lock solution2 and reduce the risk of thrombus accumulation due to platelet activation resulting from shear stress.3 Available in both retrograde and antegrade insertion platforms, the catheter is designed with an innovative tip that allows placement flexibility with minimal impact on recirculation rates.2
Designed for performance
Catheter tip designed to optimize catheter flow and minimize recirculation5
Sidehole design engineered to reduce the loss of lock solution,2 a contributing factor in reducing the risk of thrombus adherence5
Catheter tip designed to reduce the risk of platelet damage caused by shear stress,4 potentially helping to reduce the risk of thrombus accumulation on catheter surface3
The Arrow-Clark™ VectorFlow® Antegrade Catheter is indicated for use in attaining long-term vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis. The Arrow-Clark™ VectorFlow® Antegrade Catheter is inserted percutaneously and is preferentially placed into the internal jugular (IJ) vein. Alternately, this catheter may be inserted into the subclavian vein although the jugular vein is the preferred site. Catheters greater than 40 cm are intended for femoral vein insertion. The Arrow-Clark™ VectorFlow® Antegrade Catheter is intended for use in adult patients.
