Tunneled Catheter (Permcath) Insertion for Long-Term Dialysis Access

the insertion of a tunneled dialysis catheter (Permcath) through the internal jugular vein with subcutaneous tunneling for long-term hemodialysis access

This medical procedure displays the proper technique for inserting a tunneled dialysis catheter. It shows access through the internal jugular vein, catheter placement guided by a wire, and subcutaneous tunneling to reduce infection risk.
