UroGlide Ureterale katheters

UroGlide Ureterale katheters

Deze katheters zijn ontworpen voor soepele en betrouwbare navigatie en zorgen voor efficiënte drainage en toegang tijdens urologische procedures, waarbij trauma tot een minimum wordt beperkt en het comfort voor de patiënt wordt geoptimaliseerd.

Informatie

UroGlide Ureteral Catheters are precision-engineered devices designed for retrograde urography—providing smooth, reliable access to the ureter and renal collecting system. Each catheter features a low-friction surface and patient-centric design, ensuring streamlined visualization of the upper urinary tract while helping to minimize trauma and maximize imaging clarity.

Biocompatible Materials
  • Polyurethane (PUR) or Similar: Selected for its flexibility and tissue-friendly nature, reducing irritation during placement and dwell.
  • Temperature Responsive: Softens at body temperature, helping adapt to anatomic curves and maintain patient comfort.
  • Lubricious Coating (if applicable): Decreases resistance during catheter insertion and advancement, facilitating passage through the ureter.
  • Reliable Navigation: Simplifies patient positioning and alignment under fluoroscopy or endoscopic guidance.
  • Clear Visualization: Embedded or tip-based markers aid in precise catheter placement and orientation during retrograde contrast injection.
  • Accurate Imaging: Ensures the operator can confirm correct positioning for effective retrograde urography.
  • Wide Range of Sizes: Catheters are available in varied diameters (e.g., 4F, 5F, etc.) and lengths, allowing customization based on anatomy and operator preference.
  • Optional Curves or Tip Angles: Some models may offer pre-shaped distal tips, assisting in negotiating the ureter’s natural angulations.

Klinische voordelen

Ideal for Retrograde Urography
  • Enhanced Contrast Delivery: Streamlined lumen design ensures optimal flow rates of contrast media into the collecting system.
  • Detailed Visualization: Promotes high-quality imaging of the renal pelvis, calyces, and ureters with minimal interference or backflow.
  • Flexible Shaft: Minimizes ureteral trauma and irritation throughout positioning or short-term indwelling.
  • Gentle, Secure Placement: Low-friction surface allows a safe and controlled procedure, limiting the risk of inadvertent injuries.
  • Clear Radiopaque Markings: Increases operator confidence and speed by quickly verifying catheter depth and orientation under fluoroscopy.
  • One-Step Insertion: Decreased need for multiple instrument exchanges, benefiting both operator workflow and patient experience.
  • Diagnosis & Evaluation: Allows contrast injection for thorough assessment of suspected ureteral or renal pelvic pathologies (e.g., stones, strictures, or tumors).
  • Adjunct to Endoscopic Interventions: May assist with stent or guidewire placement in conjunction with stone extraction or other endoscopic urological procedures.
