DRAINAGE CATHETER
Drainage catheter
Catheter for percutaneous drainage of abscesses and other fluids.
Specifications
1.Material: polyurethane with “Blue Silk” treatment.Benefits:
- Maximises catheter performance, minimises tissue irritation and reduces insertion problems.
- Minimises obstruction.
- As it is an inert material, it offers maximum biocompatibiltiy, smoothness and flexibility properties.
- Resistant to kinking.
2. Surface:
- Very sliding.
- Facilitates insertion and advancement in curved segments and in blocked areas.
3. Internal reinforcement of the tip. Benefits:
- It allows to apply a greater force on the tip, easily penetrating
tissues. - Minimises the potential “accordion” effect during insertion.
- Facilitates passage of the guide during catheter exchange.
4. Thin wall.
Provides a greater internal lumen for higher drainage.
5. Large drainage holes: maximise draining.
Pigtail tip with Tru-lock closure.
Composition of the set:
- 1 catheter.
- 1 rigid cannula.
- 1 plastic cannula for insertion using the Seldinger technique.
- 1 trocar.
