By type, it is bifurcated into hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. The hemodialysis segment is further divided into short-term catheter, chronic catheter, graft, and fistula. By dialysis site, the ...

Many patients undergoing dialysis rely on a vascular access site created in the arm called an arteriovenous (AV) fistula (surgically joining an artery and vein) or an AV graft (a soft tube placed ...

The WRAPSODY device is engineered to enhance long-term vessel patency in dialysis patients, particularly those relying on vascular access sites such as arteriovenous (AV) fistulas or grafts in the ...

Many patients undergoing dialysis rely on a vascular access site created in the arm called an arteriovenous fistula or an AV graft. The maintenance of adequate blood flow through these sites is ...
