# Catheter Hemodialysis ST 14.5FR 28CM A hemodialysis catheter is a thin, hollow tube that is placed into a large vein, usually in the neck, chest, or groin, to allow blood to flow out of your body and into a dialysis machine that filters waste and extra fluid. You might need this type of catheter if your kidneys aren't working well enough to filter waste on their own, or if you need dialysis treatment right away before a more permanent access can be created. The procedure to place the catheter typically involves numbing the skin and using imaging guidance to insert the tube safely into the vein, and you can usually begin dialysis through it shortly after placement.
