Haemodialysis plastic cannulae - a possible alternative to traditional metal needles?

CONCLUSION: Due to the characteristics of plastic cannulae, they seem to be well suited for restless patients, patients with unpredictable behaviour, children, and patients who are allergic to metal.However, the evidence base provided by studies on the use of cannulae is currently weak. More controlled randomised studies are needed. PMID: 27443580 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
