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
