Peritoneal Dialysis

Because critically-ill pediatric patients are unlikely to have adequate blood volume and vasculature to support hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis is an effective therapy to help correct for inadequate renal function. Dialy-Nate® is a preassembled, closed system including all the medical device components needed to perform peritoneal dialysis. As such, it is ready to be used in a timely way and helps avoid inadvertent disconnections and possible patient infection that can result from manual assembly of tubing and multiple components in a clinical setting.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Dialy-Nate® is the only preassembled peritoneal dialysis kit specifically designed for the neonatal patient.

FEATURES

• Safer and more effective than piecing together separate tubing and components.
• Preassembled, closed sterile system greatly reduces risk of peritonitis.
• Saves nursing time and worry about researching hospital protocols.
• Available with a bonded helical warming coil for use with a K-Pad, or with 600cm of uncoiled tubing for use in a blood or fluid warmer.
