"Medisystems bloodlines have always been reliable - they don't vary in their quality."
-- Brenda Grove, RN

NEW! Our blood tubing sets are available from Henry Schein, Inc. Click here to read our February 24, 2003 announcement.

Medisystems revolutionized hemodialysis blood tubing sets by offering the first integrated sets. We followed that with a series of innovative features including ViraGuard™ patient-transducer protectors, chambers that reduce foaming and increase air removal, and the first completely needleless bloodline on the market. Medisystems is clearly the industry leader in performance, quality and safety.

Performance
We know consistent performance is important to you. ReadySet blood tubing sets delivers reliable, accurate flows throughout the treatment, so you can be confident your patient receives the prescribed Kt/V.

Proprietary pump segment for truer delivery of prescribed flow
ReadySet maintains blood flows within 1% of the prescription, versus a 10% drop in blood flows for competitive blood tubing
Use of ReadySet is proven to result in significantly higher Kt/V and URR without increasing negative pressures*

ReadySet blood tubing sets used together with Medisystems AVF needles yield the best possible flow, compared to any competitive product combination.

Quality
Medisystems is committed to making the finest extracorporeal disposable products available. With strict internal quality control and attention to design detail, our time proven components have established our reputation for quality and reliability. Components include:
