One needle to rule them all: new dialysis device aims to simplify treatment
NCT ID NCT07599085
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tests a new device that lets dialysis patients use just one needle instead of two for their blood cleaning treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well for people who already have a mature vein connection (fistula). About 20 adults who need dialysis three times a week will try the device over 30 days.
