Methods and design for a Slotted T-shaped PD Catheter are disclosed. The present invention includes a unique port design for peritoneal dialysis catheters that allows high outflow and inflow rates, with a minimum fluid velocity through the fluid entry ports. Features of this device include T-shaped catheter with subcutaneous tubing joining to an intraperitoneal portion that is essentially at right angles to the intraperitoneal tubing and slit shaped flow ports as opposed to round shaped flow ports.
