What is a Dialysis Catheter & CAPD Catheter Insertion?
The catheter that is used for dialysis is usually made up of a soft tube and inserted in a large vein. It is used when dialysis needs to begin immediately or when there is no other vascular access method available.
The catheter used for CAPD is inserted into the abdomen. It allows fluid for dialysis to be put in and removed from the abdomen.

Frequently Asked Questions
A dialysis catheter is a tube placed into a large vein to provide access for hemodialysis. It may be needed when dialysis must start quickly or another access is not available.
A dialysis catheter provides access for hemodialysis through a vein, while a CAPD catheter is placed in the abdomen for peritoneal dialysis.
Patients with kidney failure who need dialysis may require catheter insertion when appropriate dialysis access is not available or when peritoneal dialysis is planned.
