Nephrostomy Set

Purpose: The nephrostomy set is designed for cases where the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder is obstructed. It includes a flexible catheter that connects the kidney to an external drainage bag, allowing safe and efficient urine removal.

Key Features:

• Size Range: Available in sizes from 8 to 14 Fr, approximately 30 cm in length.
• Material: Crafted from high-quality silicone and polyurethane.
• Usage Duration: Suitable for use for up to 80 days.
• Innovative Design: Features a curved pig-tail tip, ensuring a single-channel drainage system for optimal efficiency.

Components: The set typically includes:

• A pig-tail catheter.
• Sheba needle and trocar for initial puncture.
• Stainless steel guidewire for precise catheter placement.
• Dilator for tissue expansion during insertion.
• Fixation adhesive, scalp, and connector.

Procedure: This minimally invasive procedure is performed under local anesthesia with imaging guidance such as ultrasound or CT scans:

1. A rigid trocar needle creates the initial access to the kidney.
2. A guidewire is inserted through the needle to prepare the pathway for the catheter.
3. Based on the patient’s anatomy, the appropriate catheter size is selected and positioned.
4. The catheter’s curved end is securely placed inside the kidney, while the external end connects to a urine collection bag.
