designed for Advanced Performance
The Arrow-Clark VectorFlow Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter has demonstrated low occlusion and infection rates in multiple clinical studies.
VectorFlow Patented Symmetrical Tip Design Catheter tip designed to reduce the risk of platelet damage caused by shear stress, potentially helping to reduce the risk of thrombusaccumulation on catheter surface Tapered tip for ease of placement over guidewire.
Clinical Data Supporting Hemodialysis Adequacy with the Arrow-Clark VectorFlow Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter
Results from a 46-patient, one-center, non-randomized clinical study evaluating hemodialysis adequacy of Arrow-Clark VectorFlow Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter showed a reduction in thrombogenic risk during clinical usage. The Arrow-Clark VectorFlow Catheter demonstrated the following.
• Mean flow rates of 333–392 l/min over a 90-day observational period*
• Mean Kt/V values consistently ≥1.5 over a 90-day observational period*
• An overall intervention-free catheter patency rate of ≥88.8 % over a 90-day observational period*
Arrow-Clark VectorFlow Catheters showed low infection and thrombosis rates

Our understanding of the importance to our customers of a full range of devices has led to the develop- ment of a unique line of products, all of which complement one another.
ARROW’s innovative dialysis access products are inspired by clinicians, based on the results they need to achieve. Therefore, we design every catheter to be as easy to use as it is effective, and precisely manufacture each one with uncompromising quality. As a result, clinicians trust ARRow’s technology to enable safer procedures and deliver effective patient outcomes.
TELEFLEX – HIGH QUALITY MEDICAL SUPPLIES FROM A SINGLE SOURCE
THE ARROW NEXTSTEP ANTEGRADE
IS A CHRONIC HAEMODIALYSIS CATHETER DESIGNED TO COMBINE:
- a step-tip catheter’s ease of insertion
- a split-tip catheter’s sustained high flow
-
- EASE OF INSERTION
- The aRRow NextStep Antegrade’s unique tip is designed for:
- smooth transition of over-the-wire insertion and exchanges
smooth transition through a sheath
DESIGNED FOR SUSTAINED HIGH FLOW AND MINIMAL RECIRCULATION
-
To reduce recirculation and deliver high flow,
the aRRow NextStep Antegrade’s tip has two unique, complementary features:
the ports are reversed to take better advantage of blood flow dynamics
the venous port releases blood in the SVC
the arterial port draws blood from the right atrium
side holes on the tip are designed to pull blood from all sides
the ports are significantly separated to both enhance flow and minimise recirculation
