A material stress test study on occurrence of leakage and material failure of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters
Abstract Peritonitis is a common complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Our root cause analysis allowed to attribute some cases to leakage of the PD catheter. Accordingly, a clinically based stress test study on potential material damage issues of PD catheters was performed, focusing on material...
