Types of Hemodialysis Catheters
- Non-tunnelled (temporary). Placed directly into a large vein at the bedside for short-term or emergency dialysis.
- Tunnelled cuffed (permcath). Passed under the skin before entering the vein, with a cuff that anchors it and lowers infection risk. Used for weeks to months.
- Lumens. Double lumen catheters carry blood out and back. Triple lumen catheters add a third line for drugs or fluids.

What is the difference between a temporary and a permcath catheter?

What is a triple lumen dialysis catheter used for?
Two lumens carry blood out and back for dialysis. The third lumen lets staff give drugs or fluids without another line, which helps in ICU patients.

Adult double lumen catheters are commonly 11.5 or 12 Fr, in lengths of about 13 to 20 cm depending on the vein used. The doctor chooses the size and site.
