Pelvion Pyeloplasty Catheter is a specialized single-lumen catheter crafted from polyurethane (PUR), designed for temporary drainage and support during renal pelvis plastic (pyeloplasty) procedures. Featuring pigtail and ureteral drainage openings, along with radiopaque markers and precise positioning markings, Pelvion ensures effective fluid outflow and stable catheter anchoring—enhancing the success of reconstructive or corrective surgery in patients with pelvi-ureteric junction anomalies or obstructions.
Biocompatible Polyurethane (PUR)
Soft & Flexible: Minimizes irritation within the renal pelvis and ureter, reducing mucosal injury or postoperative discomfort.
Temperature Adaptive: Maintains pliability at body temperature, facilitating comfortable dwell times.
Drainage Openings in Pigtail & Ureter Segment
Dual Drainage Zones: Ensures comprehensive outflow from both the renal pelvis and ureteral portions, preventing fluid buildup.
Optimized Flow: Aligns with anatomically relevant drainage pathways to expedite healing and reduce postoperative complications.
Markings for Exact Positioning
Depth Scale & Radiopaque: Provides clear fluoroscopic or ultrasonographic visualization, confirming catheter tip location within the pelvis.
Reliable Anchoring: Pigtail configuration lowers the risk of catheter migration, stabilizing the stent in situ.
Needle Adapter
Universal Luer Connector: Attaches securely to external urinary drainage bags, ensuring minimal leakage and straightforward disposal of effluent.
Streamlined Setup: Simplifies catheter management, mitigating the need for multiple adaptors or accessories.
Clinical Advantages & Applications
Renal Pelvis Plastic (Pyeloplasty)
Anatomical Support: Maintains a patent channel during surgical correction or healing phases, preventing fluid accumulation.
Continuous Drainage: Diminishes complications like infection, hydronephrosis, or suture stress in the post-reconstruction interval.
Anatomic Precision
Accurate Placement: Radiopaque and external markings help confirm that the pigtail sits securely in the renal pelvis while the ureter segment maintains drainage.
Minimal Tissue Trauma: The flexible catheter design reduces friction and pressure on sensitive tissues throughout dwell time.
Efficient Post-Operative Management
Simplified Drainage: Multiple opening designs facilitate more robust fluid outflow, decreasing risk of occlusion or stasis.
Patient Comfort: Soft PUR material and stable pigtail encourage higher patient tolerance and fewer readjustments.
Reduced Procedure Times & Costs
Adaptable Design: Standardized needle adapter connection fits typical drainage setups, accelerating OR readiness and minimizing inventory.
Safety & Reliability: Mitigates the need for re-interventions due to displacement or insufficient drainage capacity.
