AngioDynamics Announces the Full USA Release of the EvenMore Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter
QUEENSBURY, N.Y., Dec 10, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- AngioDynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ:ANGO) today announced its release of the EvenMore chronic hemodialysis catheter. Designed for long-term use in dialysis patients, the EvenMore catheter is now being offered throughout the United States.
The EvenMore chronic hemodialysis catheter is a non-position dependent, 14.5 French end-hole design catheter. Offering less than five percent recirculation, the catheter's low profile lumen-to-wall ratio is designed to deliver high flow. The catheter also features a Durathane shaft -- a biocompatible and durable material that offers high chemical resistance, which helps simplify site care since the material can be cleaned with either iodine or alcohol.
AngioDynamics will be providing the EvenMore catheter in a kit that includes the EmboSafe Valved Splittable Sheath dilator, a sheath designed to reduce the risk of blood loss and air intake while allowing for smooth catheter insertion.
Commenting for AngioDynamics, Don Geer, Director, Vascular Access Products, said, "AngioDynamics is taking a value added approach with the EvenMore kit. By offering a choice of catheter size along with the EmboSafe valved splittable sheath dilator and other components that work directly with the catheter, the Company is providing one-stop shopping for the physician. This product is a reflection of our continued dedication to growing our hemodialysis product line to meet physicians' needs."
