At Demas Medical, we offer comprehensive Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) services, including patient training, ongoing monitoring, and full clinical support. PD is an effective alternative to hemodialysis that allows patients to manage their treatment in the comfort of their own home, work, or while traveling.
Peritoneal dialysis uses the natural lining of your abdomen (the peritoneum) as a filter to remove waste and excess fluid from the blood. A special dialysis fluid is introduced into the abdominal cavity through a catheter, where it absorbs toxins and is then drained—completing the cleansing process.
This treatment option is ideal for patients who prefer greater independence and flexibility, while still receiving expert medical supervision.
