URETERAL CATHETER 6.0 FR 70 CM OPEN END

Product Overview

The Ureteral Catheter 6.0 FR 70 CM Open End is a sterile, single-use medical device meticulously designed for a variety of urological procedures.

This catheter plays a crucial role in facilitating the drainage of urine from the kidney to the bladder, effectively relieving obstructions and supporting renal function.

Furthermore, its open-end design is particularly advantageous, allowing for the easy introduction of guidewires or the injection of contrast media during diagnostic imaging (such as retrograde pyelography) or interventional procedures.

With precise dimensions of 6.0 French (FR) and a length of 70 cm, this catheter is a versatile and essential tool in urology, adaptable for a range of patient anatomies and diverse procedural requirements.

Benefits of Use

• Efficiently drains urine, helping to alleviate obstructions and improve kidney function.
• Provides a clear internal lumen, crucial for the smooth passage of guidewires, facilitating complex urological interventions.
• The versatile open-end design enables multiple uses, including irrigation, aspiration, or precise delivery of substances.
• Engineered for smooth and controlled insertion, designed to minimize discomfort for the patient during placement.
• An indispensable tool for various diagnostic imaging techniques and therapeutic interventions within the urinary tract.

How to Use

1. Ensure strict adherence to sterile technique throughout the entire procedure to prevent any risk of infection.
2. Before use, carefully inspect both the catheter's packaging and the device itself for any signs of damage or compromise.
3. Typically, the catheter is introduced into the ureter, often guided over a pre-placed guidewire for stability and accurate direction.
4. Gently advance the catheter to the desired anatomical location within the urinary tract, usually under fluoroscopic guidance to confirm precise positioning.
5. Once correctly positioned, the catheter can be utilized for its intended purpose, such as urine drainage, irrigation, guidewire exchange, or other specific procedures.
6. Follow established clinical protocols and institutional guidelines for proper securement, ongoing maintenance, and eventual removal of the catheter.

Caution & Warnings

• This device is strictly for single-use only. Do not attempt to re-sterilize or reuse, as this may compromise device integrity, sterility, and lead to patient infection or injury.
• To be used exclusively by qualified medical professionals who are thoroughly trained in urological procedures and catheter placement techniques.
• Verify that the package is intact and unopened prior to use. Do not use the product if the sterile barrier has been compromised or damaged.
• Store the catheter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its product integrity and material properties.
• Improper technique during insertion or handling can lead to serious complications, including but not limited to urinary tract infection, ureteral perforation, or hemorrhage.
• Dispose of the used catheter and all associated materials strictly according to hospital policy and local regulations for biohazardous waste.
