General Surgery Instruments Catheters & drains

Catheters

The Foley catheter is a plastic two-lumen tube with an inflatable balloon. The balloon is inflated via a small channel.

     Suprapubic cystostomy is an alternative way of draining the urinary bladder. The Malecot catheter is well suited for this purpose. It is a rubber or latex tube with two wings at the tip. The de Pezzer catheter is based on a similar principle except that instead of wings, it has a bulbous end which can be straightened and recoils back when the wire introducer is removed.

     The catheters used are:

     •   Foley 

     •   Gibbons 

     •   Malecot 

     •   DePezzer 

     •   Tiemann 

     •   Secured tube drains 

     •   Corrugated

General Surgery Tubes Catheters

Tubes and Catheters and Drains

Tubes

Without endotracheal tubes modern anesthesia would be unthinkable. The traditional tubes of the Magill pattern are made of red mineralized rubber. Except for the smallest they all have an inflatable cuff near the distal tip to protect the lower respiratory tract form soiling as well as providing an air-tight seal. Each number refers to the internal diameter of the tube in millimeters.

         All tubes in the past have been made of rubber and have been recycled in practice by autoclaving. All these instruments and nasogastric tubes are now made of nonreactive plastic material and come presterilized in packs. These tubes are all disposable and thus do not require recycling. 

         The tubes in use are:

         •       Endotracheal  

         •       Uncuffed oral endotracheal tube  

         •       Negus tracheostomy  

         •       Chevalier Jackso.
