Device for placing dialysis needles
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 21 years or older and not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You receive your dialysis treatments at a center (not at home).
- You have a working fistula or graft in your arm that is used for dialysis.
- Your fistula or graft is a specific size (between 6 and 12 mm) and not too deep under the skin, as checked by an ultrasound.
- You are willing to answer study questionnaires and sign a consent form.

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.
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.
