A peritoneal dialysis catheter, acute is a specialized tube designed to temporarily access the peritoneal cavity for dialysis treatment in emergency situations. It enables the exchange of dialysate fluid to remove waste and excess fluid from the bloodstream when the kidneys are functioning inadequately in acute settings.
These catheters are typically single-use devices and are inserted percutaneously for short-term dialysis sessions. They are regulated as medical devices with specific requirements for safety and performance, though classification may vary by jurisdiction.
