Single-site dialysis needle study
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new device that lets you use just one needle for dialysis instead of two. It might make treatments more comfortable and simpler.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You get dialysis at a center three times a week.
- Your dialysis access (fistula) has been in use for at least 3 months with two needles and no problems.
- Your fistula must meet specific size and flow requirements, which your doctor can check.
- You don't have any planned dialysis at home or use a graft for access.
- You haven't had an active infection in the last 3 months.

This study tests a new device that may make it easier and more reliable to place needles into your dialysis access (the fistula or graft in your arm). It could help improve your dialysis sessions and comfort.
This study compares a new single-needle return technique for your dialysis access (AVF) to the usual two-needle method. It aims to see if using just one needle on your fistula and getting the blood back through a leg vein can help your fistula last longer.
This trial tests a small implant device that can make dialysis fistulas easier to access with needles when normal needle access is too difficult or risky. It may help reduce painful failed attempts and needle-related complications for people with certain types of fistulas.
This trial tests a new device called the Velocity pAVF System that creates a connection between a vein and artery in your arm for hemodialysis. If you need dialysis now or within the next 6 months, this could be a new option for you.
This study compares two ways to create a dialysis access point in your arm: one is a standard surgery, the other uses a less invasive needle-based technique. The goal is to see which method works better, costs less, and has fewer complications.
This study tests a device that uses light to check the health of your AV access (the blood vessel connection used for dialysis) without touching it. It may help doctors spot problems early.
