Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) by Vantive (Baxter) is a form of peritoneal dialysis that allows patients to perform their own dialysis treatments manually throughout the day, without the need for a machine. This portable and flexible treatment option involves using the patient’s peritoneum as a natural filter to remove waste and excess fluid from the blood. Baxter’s CAPD system provides patients with the necessary supplies, including sterile dialysis solution bags and a catheter, to manage their treatment effectively at home or on the go.

Uses

• Home Dialysis Treatment: Enables patients to perform dialysis at home, offering more freedom compared to in-center dialysis.
• Chronic Kidney Disease Management: Suitable for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring regular dialysis.
• Travel-Friendly Dialysis: The compact and portable design makes it ideal for patients who need to travel or maintain an active lifestyle.

Benefits

• Improved Quality of Life: Provides flexibility in treatment scheduling, allowing patients to integrate dialysis into their daily routine with minimal disruption.
• Increased Independence: Empowers patients to manage their own treatment, fostering a sense of control and self-reliance.
• Reduced Hospital Visits: Minimizes the need for frequent trips to dialysis centers, saving time and reducing healthcare costs.
• Enhanced Safety: Pre-sterilized components and easy-to-use safety features help prevent infection and ensure a safe treatment environment.
• Better Health Outcomes: Continuous treatment helps to maintain stable blood chemistry levels, improving overall health and well-being.
