UNSPSC 42161506 Peritoneal dialysis catheters or indwelling access devices is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement of specialized vascular and peritoneal access devices used in renal replacement therapy. State and local governments acquire these devices primarily through health departments, county hospital systems, and regional dialysis centers to support end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treatment programs. The devices include peritoneal dialysis catheters—tunneled or non-tunneled catheter systems placed into the peritoneal cavity for fluid exchange—and related indwelling access hardware. Purchasing entities range from state Medicaid and public health agencies that procure for multiple dialysis facilities to individual county and municipal hospitals that manage dialysis services directly. These purchases typically occur as part of routine clinical supply replenishment or through cooperative purchasing agreements that bundle medical device acquisitions across multiple health-system locations.
