Abstract

The self-locating catheter invented by Nicola Di Paolo has been increasingly used in Italy and elsewhere since 1994, with about a thousand patients currently implanted every year. Twelve grams of tungsten inserted in the tip of the conventional Tenckhoff catheter during extrusion do not significantly change its form, but suffice to keep the tip firmly in the Douglas cavity. The validity of the new catheter is confirmed by a multicentric controlled study in a large population of peritoneal dialysis patients. This trial showed that patients with the new catheter have fewer episodes of peritonitis, tunnel infection, cuff extrusion, catheter malfunction, obstruction and leakage. This paper outlines the present situation and reports a comparative analysis of the costs of Tenckhoff and self-locating catheters.
