Product Description
This PTCD biliary pigtail drainage catheter is a fully integrated locking catheter system designed for percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage (PTCD). Engineered for both external and internal‑external drainage modes, it provides clinicians with a versatile solution for biliary decompression in obstructive and post‑procedural settings. The system is optimized for stability under imaging guidance and patient comfort during short‑ to long‑term drainage.
Key Specifications
- Catheter Size Range: 7F, 8.5F, 10F, 12F, 14F
- Working Length: 25 cm, 30 cm, 35 cm, 40 cm
- Fixation: Integrated locking hub with suture wings
- Tip Design: Multi‑loop pigtail with radiopaque marker
- Trocar Compatibility: Diamond‑tip or conventional needle access
Dual‑Mode Drainage Flexibility
- External Mode: Tip placed above obstruction for direct external drainage
- Internal‑External Mode: Tip advanced past obstruction, allowing bile to flow internally to duodenum; external port can be closed for internal‑only drainage
Clinical & Design Benefits
- Secure Locking Hub – Reduces catheter migration and dislodgement
- Enhanced Radiopacity – Full‑length marker stripe and tip marker for clear fluoroscopic visualization
- Soft, Kink‑Resistant Material – Medical‑grade polyurethane maintains patency during flexion
- Multi‑Loop Retention – Helical pigtail design enhances position stability in the biliary tree
- Ultrasound & Fluoroscopy Compatible – Suitable for all common image‑guidance approaches
Intended Clinical Uses
- Malignant biliary obstruction (palliative drainage)
- Benign stricture management
- Pre‑operative biliary decompression
- Post‑surgical or traumatic bile leak control
