ABSTRACT:
A displaceable ballooning catheter for displacement off an occluding membrane within a patient's body. The device contains the normal inflow and outflow ports of typical catheters but in addition contains a fluid filled balloon that upon inflation will move away from a blood vessel wall thereby ensuring adequate flow into the catheter during hemodialysis. The balloon is adaptable to other methods of catheterization such as peritoneal dialysis and pressure monitoring because the balloon is capable of moving the catheter tip enough to situate the catheter in its optimum location for the procedure intended.
