Medical doctors at Okayama University Medical School and Shigei Medical Research Hospital in Okayama City, in collaboration with K.Techno Inc. develop a medical supportive device for hemodialysis catheter puncture.
Hemodialysis is used to purify the blood of people with kidney failure with a growing need for dialysis using a catheter in countries with aging populations, such as Japan. The precise catheter placement for secure and efficient dialysis, requires specialized knowledge and skills of the doctor.
