The Argyle swan neck Tenckhoff catheter is designed to keep the internal portion of the catheter from migrating out of position and decreases stress on the exit site, preventing debris from collecting at the exit site. The Argyle swan neck Tenckhoff catheter is different from other catheters due to a pre-formed 180° angle designed to keep both the internal and external portions of the catheter positioned downward. The catheters are intended to keep the internal portion from migrating out of position and to decrease stress on the exit site by the external portion, which often occurs when a straight catheter is manually curved during placement.
