What Is a Mahurkar Catheter?
A Mahurkar catheter is a particular kind of catheter that is mostly used for hemodialysis. It consists of a large, semi-flexible tube. At one end, the tube opens up into two lumens, which can be connected to two entry points on a dialysis machine. At the other end, the catheter is inserted into the body’s bloodstream in order to draw blood out and return it to the body after dialysis.
Each Mahurkar catheter contains two lumens: one venous lumen and one arterial lumen. The arterial lumen is responsible for taking blood from the patient and into the machine, while the venous lumen transports the clean blood from the machine and back into the body.
There are various sizes and flow rates used in Mahurkar catheters to be used in patients with different needs and of different ages. They are a very important kind of catheter and can help to save lives and ease the symptoms of various diseases and conditions, including diabetes and blood disorders.

How Does a Mahurkar Catheter Work?
Mahurkar catheters need to be inserted into the patient's blood vessels. To begin with, an area of the body will be selected for insertion, which is usually around the collarbone or the groin. The area will be numbed to make the experience easier for the patient. The skin will then be pierced and the catheter will be inserted and stitched in position.
Mahurkar Hemodialysis Catheters Family include:
- Mahurkar 8 Fr Dual Lumen Acute Dialysis Catheter
- Mahurkar 10 Fr Dual Lumen Acute Dialysis Catheter
- Mahurkar 11.5 Fr Dual Lumen Acute Dialysis Catheter
- Mahurkar 12 Fr High Pressure Triple Lumen Catheter
- Mahurkar 13.5 Fr High Flow Dual Lumen Acute Dialysis Catheter
Mahurkar Catheter Placement Procedure
Even though the skin will be numb, the patient will feel the pressure when the catheter goes in. As the numbness wears off, some discomfort might be felt by the patient. In case of discomfort or pain, it’s important to let the healthcare provider know so medicine is administered. Pain and discomfort should diminish as the days go by.
Mahurkar Catheter Removal Procedure
Removing the Mahurkar catheter should be an easy procedure. The catheter is unstitched, and the healthcare provider pulls the catheter out. Pressure is applied for five minutes and then a pressure bandage is placed on the area. The bandage usually stays on for about 24 to 48 hours.
Warnings:
- Do not take a shower while the catheter is still in, do not immerse the catheter in water.
- Keep the area clean and dry.
- Dressing should be checked daily.
- Reach out to your healthcare provider if you notice a change in tenderness, redness of the area or change in drainage.
Mahurkar Catheter Sizes
Just like other kinds of catheters, Mahurkar catheters are available in a wide range of sizes to suit patients of different ages and body types. The key measurement when talking about Mahurkar catheters is the diameter of the tube itself, which is measured using the French scale system and typically ranges from 6 Fr up to 15 Fr.
Mahurkar Catheter Types
There is only one main type of Mahurkar catheter, and all Mahurkar catheters look similar and are designed to the same standards. They may have slightly different sizes or features but are all used in the same way.
Mahurkar Catheter Uses
Mahurkar catheters are used during hemodialysis, which is when a patient is connected to a dialysis machine in order to clean and regulate the blood. This is commonly used for patients who have diabetes or those who have some sort of kidney failure, as the dialysis machine and Mahurkar catheter help to carry out functions that the kidneys are unable to do. These kinds of catheters can also be used for the medical process of apheresis, which works in a similar way to dialysis by taking blood out of a patient, removing certain elements, and then returning the cleaned blood back into the body. It may be used for people with diseases like leukemia or sickle cell disease.
