Safe Access. Trusted Care.

At RENACARE Kidney Care, we provide expert placement, care, and management of dialysis catheters — the lifeline for patients undergoing hemodialysis. Whether it’s a short-term emergency need or a long-term dialysis plan, our team ensures that every catheter insertion is safe, sterile, and guided by best practices.

What Are Dialysis Catheters?

Dialysis catheters are soft, flexible tubes inserted into a large vein to provide access to your bloodstream for hemodialysis. They are typically used when immediate dialysis is required, or while waiting for a permanent access like an AV fistula to mature.

Temporary Dialysis Catheter (Non-tunnelled)

• Used for urgent or short-term dialysis (usually days to a few weeks)

• Inserted into the neck (IJ), chest (subclavian), or groin (femoral)

• Ideal for patients starting dialysis in emergencies

• Inserted under local anaesthesia with ultrasound guidance

Permacath (Tunnelled Dialysis Catheter)

• Used for longer-term dialysis (weeks to months)

• Placed under the skin and tunnelled to reduce infection risk

• Offers more stable and pain-free dialysis sessions

• Can be used immediately after insertion in most cases
