Perm Catheterization for Dialysis: Procedure, Benefits & Care Guide
Perm catheterization for dialysis is a crucial procedure for patients with advanced kidney disease who require long-term hemodialysis. A perm catheter, also known as a tunneled dialysis catheter, is inserted into a large vein—usually in the neck or chest—to provide a reliable and efficient access point for dialysis treatment. This method is especially beneficial for patients who need immediate dialysis or are not suitable candidates for arteriovenous (AV) fistula or graft placement.
