Nephrostomy Catheter (PUR)
- Biocompatible, Flexible Material: Made of soft, aliphatic polyurethane, minimizing trauma to renal tissue and ensuring comfortable dwell.
- Tube for Stylet/Obturator & Needle Insertion: Streamlines one-step or two-step access, offering direct alignment of instruments via a single channel.
- Luer-Lock Connector: Secures attachments for flushing, aspiration, or drainage bag connection.
Puncture Needle
- Two-Part 18 G Needle (20 cm in length): Specifically designed for precise kidney entry under ultrasound guidance.
- Ultrasound-Visible: Enhances safety by providing real-time imaging feedback for accurate puncture location in the renal collecting system.
Obturator/Stylet
- Rounded Tip: Facilitates smooth advancement and straightening of the nephrostomy catheter during placement.
- Secure Fit: Stabilizes the catheter shaft, reducing the risk of buckling or misalignment during insertion.
Schüller Guide Wire
- Uncoated Stainless Steel: Provides rigid, reliable track creation in the kidney’s collecting system or obstructed segments.
- Sturdy: Enhances pushability and torque conduction for challenging anatomies.
Universal Adapter
- Luer-Lock Connector & Funnel: Attaches seamlessly to a urinary drainage bag or other accessories, ensuring leakage-free drainage management.
- 10 cm in Length: Offers adequate manipulation space and straightforward hooking to external drainage or infusion lines.
Clinical Advantages & Applications
One-Step or Two-Step Placement
- Streamlined Workflow: Operators can adopt a single-pass approach (one-step) for direct cannulation or a two-step method for staged access, depending on their preference or patient complexity.
- Adaptable to Various Anatomies: The combined system accommodates both straightforward and challenging renal anatomies, minimizing the need for separate instrument sets.
Precise, Ultrasound-Guided Access
- Ultrasound-Visible Needle: Ensures safe puncture under real-time imaging, decreasing vascular or organ injury risk.
- Stable Guide Wire Placement: Schüller wire fosters excellent track creation and reduces the chance of losing access during catheter transitions.
Durable, Comfortable Catheter
- Soft, Temperature-Responsive PUR: Maintains structural resilience while softening in body-temperature conditions, diminishing patient discomfort.
- Long-Term Performance: Tolerates multiple flushes or manipulations over extended indwelling periods if required by clinical indication.
Enhanced Drainage & Minimal Leak
- Secure Luer-Lock: Tight seal with drainage tubing prevents accidental disconnections or fluid spillage.
- Universal Adapter: Flexible interface allows for standard drainage bag coupling, simplifying patient management.
