We strive to make the lives of our patients as convenient and independent as possible.
Home dialysis makes a difference
Worldwide about 300 000 peritoneal dialysis patients perform their therapy at home. Each one of them needs to manually connect a catheter to a dialysis product several times a day.
Considering the increasing number of elderly dialysis patients,
performing a manual connection can be a barrier to home treatment.
Impaired dexterity or vision can make the manual connection difficult or even impossible.
This may expose the patient to the risk of infection when touching sensitive parts of the dialysis tubing system or the catheter connection.
A new solution
PeriSafe® is addressing the two major complications of peritoneal dialysis: risk of infection and the complexity of the therapy treatment. PeriSafe is a product innovation for the PD therapy, that connects the transfer set and the dialysis tubing within a protected area.
The manual contact of the patient with the open transfer set is no longer necessary, and the manual handling of clamps and breaking of the frangible is replaced by just the touch of a button.

300'000 patients dialyse at home at present

The reliable PeriSafe assistant device will take the patients by the hand and guide them through the therapy. This would allow patients who are not eligible today to also perform dialysis at home (e.g. visual impairment).
Daily companion

Due to the proper guidance of the patient and the standardized procedure, the therapy becomes more intuitive
and could dispel possible doubts of the patient.
Safe connection

The most delicate therapy step, the manual connection of the transfer set and the dialysis bag system, is performed inside of the protected device. This could lead to a decrease in infections.
