AV Fistula Set

An AV fistula set is a collection of sterile, single-use instruments and consumables designed for the creation or maintenance of arteriovenous fistulas, primarily in patients requiring long-term hemodialysis. These sets typically include specialized fistula needles, dilators, guidewires, and sometimes tunnelling tools, all selected to minimize vessel trauma and promote successful cannulation.

When choosing an AV fistula set, consider the needle gauge and length appropriate for the patient's fistula maturity and blood flow requirements. Sets with ultra-thin wall needles and safety mechanisms can reduce the risk of infiltration and needlestick injuries. Compatibility with standard dialysis tubing and the inclusion of clear, graduated catheters are also important for efficient clinical workflow.
