2. A CAPD catheter is a flexible, plastic tube (about the length of a ruler and the width of a pencil) that allows dialysis fluid (called dialysate) to enter the abdominal cavity, pull toxins through the small blood vessels that are in the lining of the abdomen and organs, and then drain the used dialysate back out again.

5. Titanium adapter Titanium adapter is used  to secure a Transfer Set or Dialysis Tubing to the PD catheter . They are lightweight and resistant to electrolyte-containing solutions and result in a tighter connection than plastic adapters

6. Transfer set A transfer set is  tubing that you use to connect your catheter to the bag of dialysis solution . When you first get your catheter, the section of tube that sticks out from your skin will have a secure cap on the end to prevent infection. A connector under the cap will attach to any type of transfer set. Peritoneal dialysis transfer sets (extension lines) are replaced every six to nine months to minimize peritoneal dialysis catheter complications. The use of a transfer set minimizes trauma to the PD catheter caused by frequent clamping during PD exchange procedures.

8. Cycler machine Automated peritoneal dialysis is done using a machine that fills your peritoneal cavity with fresh dialysis solution, also called PD fluid or PD solution, and after a specified dwell time, drains the solution with waste out of your body and then fills your peritoneal cavity with new dialysis solution. T his method  uses a machine (automated cycler) that performs multiple exchanges at night while you sleep . The cycler automatically fills your abdomen with dialysate, allows it to dwell there and then drains it to a sterile bag that you empty in the morning.
