Dialysis-X
Needle-free dialysis treatment. At home or in the clinic.
An implanted vascular access platform — with remote patient monitoring — designed to remove one of the biggest barriers to home dialysis: repeated needle cannulation.
Needle-free dialysis treatment, with remote patient monitoring, used in the clinic or at home.
The problem
Needles are the biggest barrier to home dialysis.
Patients on hemodialysis are cannulated with large-bore needles — often three times a week, for years. The process is painful, technically demanding, and a recurring source of access-related complications.
For most patients and care partners, self-cannulation at home is not a realistic expectation. As a result, dialysis stays anchored to the clinic — even when home therapy would offer a better quality of life.
The case for home dialysis is well established. Access is what holds it back.
The platform
A new approach to vascular access — built for life outside the clinic.
Dialysis-X is developing an implanted vascular access platform designed to enable repeatable dialysis connection without needle cannulation of the vessel.
01
Needle-free vascular access
An implanted device intended to enable repeatable connection to the dialysis circuit without cannulating the vessel with a needle.
02
A simple, deterministic connection
A connection workflow designed to be teachable, reproducible, and appropriate for use outside the clinic.
03
Remote patient monitoring
Platform directionA broader platform layer to support treatment visibility and continuity of care between the patient, the clinic, and the care team.
A different day for dialysis
Care that fits a life — not the other way around.
Removing routine needle cannulation reshapes what dialysis can look like — at home, with confidence, and without the recurring barrier that keeps so many patients anchored to in-center care.
- Less pain and less fear at each treatment
- A workflow designed to be safe and teachable at home
- Continuity of care between patient, clinic, and care team
