Key Features

  • Gentle on Tissues: Flexible, smooth material reduces trauma during placement and long-term indwelling, enhancing patient comfort.
  • Durable & Resistant: Maintains structural integrity under continuous drainage conditions.
  • Secure, Kink-Resistant Drainage: Resilient design prevents catheter collapse in tortuous renal pathways or while navigating challenging anatomical angles.
  • Robust Performance: Maintains uninterrupted flow, limiting the risk of catheter occlusion or displacement.
  • Marked with Radiopaque Bands: Ensures consistent fluoroscopic or ultrasound visibility for precise, real-time positioning.
  • Graduated Depth Markings: Facilitates accurate placement in the renal collecting system, reducing repeated repositioning attempts.
The Bionovus Nephrectomy Percutaneous Nephrostomy Catheter is an advanced pigtail-style device intended for temporary external drainage in upper ureteral and renal obstructions—particularly those stemming from renal tumors or inflammatory processes. By providing a secure drainage pathway, it helps alleviate pressure buildup, maintain renal function, and reduce patient discomfort. Constructed from soft, biocompatible polyurethane, the catheter is highly radiopaque, offering efficient fluoroscopic guidance and user-friendly insertion.
Biocompatible Soft Polyurethane
  • Gentle on Tissues: Flexible, smooth material reduces trauma during placement and long-term indwelling, enhancing patient comfort.
  • Durable & Resistant: Maintains structural integrity under continuous drainage conditions.
High Bending Strength
  • Secure, Kink-Resistant Drainage: Resilient design prevents catheter collapse in tortuous renal pathways or while navigating challenging anatomical angles.
  • Robust Performance: Maintains uninterrupted flow, limiting the risk of catheter occlusion or displacement.
Radiopacity & Depth Scale
  • Marked with Radiopaque Bands: Ensures consistent fluoroscopic or ultrasound visibility for precise, real-time positioning.
  • Graduated Depth Markings: Facilitates accurate placement in the renal collecting system, reducing repeated repositioning attempts.
Long Pusher Options (40–100 cm)
  • Adaptable to Various Patient Profiles: Multiple pusher lengths accommodate deeper or more proximal access routes, supporting diverse procedural needs.
  • Ease of Use: Simplifies advancement and stabilization in extended or anatomically complex drainage paths.
Radiopaque Repellent Option
  • Distinct Visibility Enhancement: Special surface treatment may offer even clearer imaging, helping operators confirm catheter position swiftly.
  • Reduced Residue Attachment: Potential for easier cleaning during dwell time or repositioning.
Flexible & Safe
  • Ergonomic Pigtail Configuration: Minimizes risk of migration or patient discomfort, effectively anchoring the catheter in the renal pelvis or calyces.
  • Secure Drainage: Preserves urinary outflow during ongoing treatment for renal tumors or inflammatory causes of obstruction, reducing back-pressure injury and pain.
