ReadA First in Denmark: An Individualised Solution for Peritoneal Dialysis
Gødstrup, Nyremedicinsk Klinik
For some patients receiving peritoneal dialysis, a conventional abdominal catheter exit site may not be the most suitable option.
This was the situation faced by a Danish hospital, Gødstrup, when planning treatment for a patient with abdominal challenges. The clinical team wanted an alternative that would be both clinically appropriate and more practical for the patient.
A presternal peritoneal dialysis catheter was selected as the solution. Instead of being located on the abdomen, its exit site is positioned on the chest. For carefully selected patients, this can provide a more accessible and patient-friendly alternative.
Responsive Expert Support for a New Procedure
According to Gødstrup, this was the first time a presternal peritoneal dialysis catheter had been used in Denmark.
ProMedical ensured that the required product was delivered quickly and supported the clinical team throughout the implementation. The experienced team did not require separate training but had questions concerning the catheter insertion and its clinical use.
ProMedical worked closely with the hospital’s specialised nurse and consulted Mozarc Medical whenever additional clinical or technical expertise was required. Close communication continued after the procedure so that any further questions could be addressed quickly.
The catheter insertion was completed successfully, and the hospital did not raise any further questions during the follow-up.
Health Technology Adapted to the Patient
This case demonstrates the value of considering alternatives to the conventional approach when a patient’s individual circumstances require a different solution. It also highlights the importance of collaboration between the clinical team, supplier and technology partner when introducing a new treatment option.
As the hospital stated in its own announcement, the aim is to provide patients with an individual solution that may improve both comfort and quality of life.
For ProMedical, the project was about more than supplying a catheter. It was about making the right technology available quickly and providing healthcare professionals with responsive expert support throughout the implementation process.
