Ideal Exit Site Location-must be customized to the patient
Not into breast tissue for females and not near the nipple for both sexes
Able to access so the female can still wear a bra Allow a flat area for enough dressing to be applied
to the skin to keep it intact Simple answer- if it is your
CVC where would you want the exit site?
Non-tunneled CVC must have suture intact at all times
Use should be limited acute hospital settings
Tunneled Cuffed Catheter is most commonly sutured for the healing period of 10-14 days
Sutures left in too long become breading ground for infection!
Ideal catheter has a removable suture wing that is removed once sutures are removed
Need placement confirmation that CVC is in correct placement for dialysis use
Need order to remove sutures in 10-14 days (exit site and venotomy site)
Need CVC device card to be given to the patient and information shared with the dialysis unit (this is an FDA implantable device so the device rand, name and lot 3 needs to be recorded in case of any recalls or issues)

“Do not submerge the catheter under water. Showering should be permitted if precautions can be taken to reduce the likelihood of introducing organisms into the catheter (e.g., if the catheter and connecting device are protected with an impermeable cover during showering)”.* Strongly Recommended

Peer review publication of 209 ESRD catheter patients residing in 34 different states being treated by 175 unique physicians who used the CD-1000 while showering showed a 75% reduction in catheter-related infections Before use of CD-1000: 1.83 infections per 1000 catheter
days (161 infections in 69 patients) With use of CD-1000: 0.47 infections per 1000 catheter days
(9 infections in 9 patients)
