  • Title: Optiflow anastomotic device for hemodialysis vascular access creation.
    Author: Glickman M.
    Journal: J Vasc Access; 2017 Mar 06; 18(Suppl. 1):84-87. PubMed ID: 28297067.
    Abstract:
    The need to have consistent methods and consistent technique to optimize hemodialysis outcomes is behind the concept of the Optiflow™ device. This device was created to allow for consistency in size of the arterial anastomosis and consistency in angle of the vein to the artery at the anastomosis. Early data suggest that allowing these two technical entities can improve outcomes in regards to flow and maturity in arteriovenous fistula creation. This article is a summary of early data that demonstrate the impact the Optiflow device on brachial cephalic fistulas.
