05 Feb ALGINATE-BASED DRESSINGS FOR ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA MANAGEMENT
Emodial’s experience, working together with the main dialysis centres in Italy and abroad, has shown an increasingly large number of patients with difficulties in haemostasis or with specific coagulation related disorders. This condition, combined with nephrological diseases, stimulated the search for medications capable of containing the effects of the two pathologies which, when acting simultaneously in a patient, often result in a particularly complicated clinical picture.

05 Feb THE BUTTONHOLE METHOD FOR THE CANNULATION OF ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULAS
The survival of a native arteriovenous fistula (AVF) not only depends on the vessels chosen and the technique used, but also on the method of cannulation. However, there is no generally effective method for the various types of AVFs. Each dialysis centre should adopt its own puncture protocol. In the proposed Guidelines for Vascular Access for Haemodialysis, one of the puncture techniques we refer to is the so-called “Buttonhole” method, i.e. the continuous puncturing of a skin site to form a precise subcutaneous path. The advantage of this technique is that it causes less pain and accurately identifies the best location for introducing the...
