The stay•safe system has been specifically designed to make everyday CAPD treatment more convenient.

  • Intuitive handling with the DISC, which guides patients through their dialysis
  • Reduction of risk steps with a unique PIN that closes the catheter extension before disconnection1
  • Commitment to environmental sustainability by offering system components that are PVC-free and free from harmful plasticizers (fluid bag, drainage bag and tubes) made from materials such as Biofine
  • Advanced fluid management information package as fluid management aims to better control the patient fluid status2
