ABSTRACT:
A peritoneal dialysis catheter has annular cuffs at one or more locations along its length. The cuffs are of a woven material to promote tissue ingrowth and thereby anchor the catheter to the body. The catheter has internal channels extending from ports located outside the body to deliver disinfecting fluid to the space between the cuffs and the catheter exterior, preventing infections from reaching the cuffs and reducing the frequency of new implants.
