ABSTRACT:
Peritoneal dialysis catheter cuffs positioned at one or both ends of the body implantation tunnel to secure the catheter in position and to seal the entrance site against infection are rendered radiopaque by a variety of means to identify the position of the cuffs during and after the catheter implantation procedure. The cuffs may alternatively be adhered to the catheter by an adhesive having a radiopaque material included as an integral constituent thereof, may be mounted coaxially with a band of radiopaque material or may be formed of a fabric having radiopaque material as an integral part thereof.
