Ultrathane Multipurpose Drainage Catheters by Cook Inc

Used for nephrostomy, abscess and other multipurpose drainage applications. Catheter placement is performed using either the Seldinger technique or a one-stick trocar introduction system. The easy-to-use, low-profile Mac-Loc® locking mechanism provides firm fixation of the pigtail while maintaining patient comfort. AQ® hydrophilic coating, when activated, becomes lubricious, which reduces friction. The decreased friction of the distal catheter surface facilitates catheter introduction. The RB# design radiopaque band identifies the proximal area of the locking loop. Six large, oval sideports increase drainage capability.
