Effect of placement on performance
The reverse tunneling technique enhances your ability to position the catheter (catheter head, cuff, and hub) in the ideal position so that the result is the best possible performance and better patient output.
Advantages of Retrograde Tunneling technique
1. Insert the catheter head in the right atrium accurately and quickly
2. Help to create a smooth tunnel with the following specifications:
Minimize catheter folding
Prevent the catheter from moving
Minimize tunnel bleeding
3. The output marker allows the cuff and the exit location to be repeated
4. Ability to easily change the extension line without removing the catheter
Protect the patient against infection
Once the catheter is properly inserted in place, it will have the best possible flow, be easy to maintain, and help protect the patient from infection.
