Abstract: A peritoneal dialysis catheter having an inflow conduit and an outflow conduit. Each conduits are linearly mated and contoured to cooperatively define a substantially circular cross sectional profile along a medial, trans-abdominal segment, but separating perhaps in radial fashion on either end of the medial, trans-abdominal segment, on a distal end to join fluted fluid transport branches and on proximal ends to join fittings for fluid delivery and collection external of the patient.

Abstract: A peritoneal dialysis catheter with two, linearly mated conduits contoured to cooperatively define a substantially circular cross sectional profile along a medial, trans-abdominal segment, but separating on either end of the medial, trans-abdominal segment, on a distal end to join fluted fluid transport branches and on proximal ends to join fittings for fluid delivery and collection external of the patient.

Abstract: The invention is of an improved peritoneal dialysis catheter the structure of which permits simultaneous inflow and outflow therapy. The design eliminates angular deviations of conduits to prevent occlusion through biological debris, insures optimal seating and sealing in the abdominal wall, and, to previously proposed designs for similar devices, is possible to manufacture using existing technology and manufacturing techniques.
