Answer» RIGHT CHOICE is (a) Catheter

For explanation I would say: When the femoral vein or the SUBCLAVIAN vein is used to extract blood for dialysis, a simple catheter is used. A simple incision at the site of insertion is made and is used to insert the catheter. Usually, it is filled with HEPARIN & capped to maintain patency between dialysis TREATMENTS.
