Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (i.e., either custom or standard kits) needed to repair a damaged area of the external segment of long-term indwelling catheters, avoiding the need for catheter replacement. Repair kits can also be used to extend the length of the external segment of long-term indwelling catheters. These kits typically include supplies for performing a sterile procedure (e.g., drapes, gloves, disinfectant), scissors, clamps, adapters/caps, catheter extensions, and adhesive. These kits are typically used to repair indwelling catheters intended for long-term use, such as dialysis catheters and central venous infusion catheters.
