Av-Guardian-Medical Implant to Guide Needle during Dialysis

• ADVENT Access, a Singapore based company, has won the European CE Mark allowing it to introduce its av-Guardian vascular access system which is the world’s first medical implant that can guide needle insertion during dialysis. av-Guardian is the implant technology to improve vascular access reliability, enable less-painful self-cannulation and, in the long term, potentially reduce vascular access related hospitalisations.
• It serves as a “guardian guide door” to facilitate dialysis needles to optimally reach Arteriovenous fistula (AV fistula), without being in contact. The technology is compatible with patients undergoing haemodialysis. It is mainly for the patients suffering long term end-stage kidney disease and to reduce the cost burden of dialysis. The technology also reduces injuries caused by sharp needles.
