The invention is a device and corresponding method for the rotatable
selection, preparation and recollection of hemodialysis cannulation sites
along a surgically constructed arterio-venous fistula or arterio-venous
graft of a patient with end-stage renal disease. The device comprises a
program, a site preparation card, transparent dressings held in a
dressing folder; transferably detachable self-adhesive mnemonic markers,
and a skin marking device. The program has means for removably receiving
the site preparation card, the transparent dressings held in the dressing
folder, and the detachable self-adhesive mnemonic marker. The skin
marking device has means for removably attaching to the program. The
method utilizes a system of instruction and interaction with the device
to enable the patient to rotatably select, prepare and recall
hemodialysis cannulation sites along the patient's arterio-venous fistula
or arterio-venous graft, thereby minimizing trauma, infection and pain,
and also maximizing the longevity of the arterio-venous fistula or
arterio-venous graft.
