The Mahurkar™* Elite portfolio of acute dual and triple lumen catheters is designed specifically to enhance acute dialysis care. Recirculation efficiency is optimised and it is easier than ever before for clinicians to maintain preferred catheter flow rates and pressures during procedures.  

Indicated for Haemodialysis, apheresis and infusion, the Mahurkar™* Elite Acute 13.5 Fr High Flow Dual Lumen Catheter supports flow rates of up to 450 mL/min.^1,†

These catheters are available with: 

• Straight extension 
• Curved Extension  
• Kit configuration  

Key Features

• Bench-top testing indicates that the tip design minimises recirculation rates to less than 1% in both forward and reverse flows¹ 
• The shaft softens by at least 54% after insertion to conform to vessels and enhance patient comfort² 
• The Large Double-D™ lumen design and modified Double-D™ lumen design optimise the internal diameter to ensure uniform and consistent flow rates while reducing arterial pressures¹ 
• Large laser-cut side slots enhance usability¹ 
• Reinforced hub reducing risk of kinking²
