Some of the potential benefits of the HemoStream(TM) catheter include:
- Patented Triple Arterial Lumen Design: Ensures functional flow rates
in the event that two lumens become completely occluded.
- Transition: Provides atraumatic over-the-wire insertion without the
need for a peel-away sheath.
- 360 degree Arterial Tip Configuration: Eliminates catheter "side-
walling" against vessel.
In April 2007, Angiotech entered into an agreement with Rex Medical, LP, which granted Angiotech an exclusive license to market and distribute the HemoStream(TM) catheter worldwide. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given clearance to begin marketing the HemoStream(TM) chronic dialysis catheter in the United States.
