Dialysis line insertion means having a soft plastic tube (twice the length and half the width of a pen) placed through the skin into one of the large veins in the neck or the groin at the top of the thigh. Once the dialysis line has been inserted and made secure it can be connected to the tubes on the haemodialysis machine to allow blood to be pumped from your body to the machine and back for dialysis.
