DIALYSIS

One of the largest application areas for RENOLIT Healthcare products is dialysis. Our materials play an important role here and together with partners we are working on the development of the next generation of dialysis systems.

For renal intensive care treatments, multi-compartment polypropylene bags with peelable seal or special high pH-resistant PVC bags are used to store sterile solutions based on sodium bicarbonate. Such bags are also used for highly concentrated dialysis solutions.


All these specialty bags can be manufactured from a range of RENOLIT Healthcare films, depending on the customer's choice:
> RENOLIT INFUFLEX: polyolefin film, flexible and transparent. Suitable for multi-chambered bags with peelable seal technology. Compatible with high pH solutions such as sodium carbonate
> RENOLIT TUBEFLEX: polyolefin tubing for use with RENOLIT MEDIFLEX and RENOLIT INFUFLEX
> RENOLIT MEDIPAK: tubular PVC film for sterile solution packaging, available with a variety of plasticisers including DEHP and DEHT
> RENOLIT MEDIPAK ALKA: tubular PVC film for the packaging of sterile sodium carbonate solutions and other solutions with a pH > 7


The application of RENOLIT Healthcare products in peritoneal dialysis are highly diverse. In peritoneal dialysis treatments, the peritoneal cavity of the patients acts as dialysis membrane. Usually applied as a home therapy, the patient can enjoy a relatively high freedom of movement without the need for frequent visits to the clinic or hospital.

RENOLIT Healthcare provides the double-bag CAPD system ready to fill using PVC or PP material and the individual components.


RENOLIT Healthcare materials are suitable for the traditional lactate-based CAPD solutions and also for the next generation sodium carbonate solutions with pH > 7 and specialty glucose or amino acid solutions. Special drainage bags are available in PVC and polyolefin material suitable for CAPD systems as well as for automated peritoneal dialysis applications. The high quality of RENOLIT Healthcare products helps ensure reliable dialysis systems.
