What am I looking at?
Visual recognition
Large-bore nontunneled catheter with two dialysis lumens; some models add a third infusion lumen and may be labeled power-injectable.

Recognition, context, and distinction
What does it do, and where will I see it?
Use & procedural context
Nontunneled large-bore catheter for short-term hemodialysis, typically with two dialysis lumens; some models add a third infusion lumen and may be power-injectable. Typical procedural contexts include acute or temporary dialysis access, typically via the internal jugular vein.
What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?
Key distinctions
This is a temporary high-flow dialysis catheter placed without a subcutaneous tunnel or cuff; some variants add an additional infusion lumen beyond the two primary dialysis lumens.
