Claims4
A method of using a vascular access device for hemodialysis comprising the steps of:
- a vascular access device, said vascular access device comprised of a body defined by upper and lower sections that are releasably connectable;
- said upper section includes a partial center channel and said lower section includes a partial center channel, when said upper and lower sections of said body are connected, a complete center channel is formed;
- said upper section includes a two opposing located partial side wings, located perpendicular to said center channel and said lower section includes a partial two opposing located partial side wings located perpendicular to said center channel, when said upper and lower sections of said body are connected, tissue anchors are formed;
- said tissue anchors are extend perpendicularly away from said center channel;
- said opposingly tissue anchors are adapted to prevent lateral movement and rolling of said body;
- said upper section including a needle guide in communication with said center channel;
- said needle guide includes an angled bore in communication with said center channel;
- said bore includes a funnel-shaped section that transitions into a cylindrical section having a length that matches a needle size and insertion angle to restrain a needle to promote installation, removal and dislodgement.
