Kid Cath

Overview

Current pediatric hemodialysis catheters come with an array of complications.

The Issue

Existing pediatric hemodialysis catheters can subject children to unnecessary discomfort, increased risk of arrhythmia, poor dialysis, and thrombosis.

Approach

In collaboration with Stanford’s Maternal and Child Health Research Institute and Thakor Lab, Kid Cath needed formalized market analysis, a regulatory strategy, and expanded clinical indications.

MTM Student Engagement

The MTM team worked closely on the development of these next critical steps.
