I-Long Term Hemodialysis Catheter iyisisetshenziswa sezokwelapha esikhethekile esisetshenziselwa ukuhlinzeka ukufinyelela kwemithambo ezigulini ezidinga ukwelashwa isikhathi eside nge-hemodialysis, ngokuvamile yesifo sezinso sokuphela kwesigaba (ESRD). Kuyishubhu eguquguqukayo efakwe emithanjeni enkulu emaphakathi (njenge-jugular, subclavian, noma i-femoral vein) ukuze kuvunyelwe ukukhishwa nokubuya kwegazi phakathi neseshini ye-dialysis. Ngokungafani nama-catheter esikhashana, Ama-Catheter e-Long Term Hemodialysis aklanyelwe ukusetshenziswa isikhathi eside, futhi afakwa ngaphansi kwesikhumba ukuze kuncishiswe izingozi zokutheleleka.

I-Hemodialysis Catheter Yesikhathi Esifushaneiyisisetshenziswa sezokwelapha esisetshenziselwa ukunikeza ukufinyelela kwesikhashana kwemithambo yeziguli ezidinga ukwelashwa kwe-hemodialysis ngokushesha. Ivamise ukufakwa emthanjeni omkhulu ophakathi nendawo (ofana ne-jugular, subclavian, noma i-femoral vein) futhi yakhelwe ukusetshenziswa kwesikhashana, ngokuvamile okusukela ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kuya emavikini ambalwa. Ama-catheter e-hemodialysis esikhashana abalulekile ezimeni eziphuthumayo, ukulimala kwezinso okukhulu, noma ngenkathi kulindwe isisombululo sesikhathi eside sokufinyelela emithanjeni (isb., i-arteriovenous fistula noma i-graft) ukuze kusungulwe.
