4A Abscess Drainage Catheter

SKU: 4A-RA-0014

The Abscess Drainage Catheter is a standalone percutaneous catheter designed for insertion via the Seldinger technique to manage acute and chronic fluid collections. Engineered from biocompatible, flexible polyurethane, it offers exceptional kink resistance and high column stability while residing in tissue tracks. Featuring strategically placed side ports along its distal end, it promotes continuous, unobstructed evacuation of bile, pancreatic fluid, pus, and infected exudate under negative pressure or gravity drainage.

Key Benefits

  • High Flow Efficiency: Large inner lumen-to-wall ratio maximizes volume output for thick or sludged fluids.
  • Kink-Resistant Polyurethane: Flexible body adapts to anatomical motion without collapsing the drainage channel.
  • Smooth Chamfered Side Eyelets: Precision-cut side holes prevent tissue suction adhesion and blockage.
  • Full Radio-Opacity: Infused radiopaque material allows continuous fluoroscopic position monitoring.
  • Universal Luer Adapter: Standard connector connects securely to closed drainage bags and suction systems.
