Radiopaque polyurethane material is non-irritating and stronger than silicone.
Collapsible bumper to facilitate insertion and removal. Less traumatic removal than mushroom style.
Right angle fixation device that holds tube securely.
Locking Y-adapter for feeding, irrigation, decompression and medication without disconnection.
In large dogs, suture the disk securely.
SURGICAL PLACEMENT- Surgical Kit includes 50cm (20in) PEG tube, right angle fixation device, silicone fixation bar, Y-adapter and clamp.
ENDOSCOPIC PLACEMENT- Endoscopic Kit includes introducer needle, guidewire with loop, 62.5cm (25in) PEG tube with loop, right angle fixation device, silicone fixation bar, Y-adapter and clamp.
Stiff low profile tip allows catheter to navigate into the anal sac orifice.
Instructions for Use:
The balloon catheter is placed into the anal sac through the anal sac orifice and inflated with 2-3 cc of saline to distend the anal sac making identification and palpation of the gland simple. The protruding catheter allows the surgeon to place gentle traction on the gland during dissection. A 360° degree skin incision is made around the protruding catheter. Metzenbaum scissors are used to dissect to the level of the anal sac wall. Identification of the wall is made by the grayish to blackish color of the wall in comparison to the red color of external anal sphincter muscle fibers being dissected off of the wall. As the dissection progresses constant traction is placed on the catheter to accentuate and retract the sac. Dissection is continued until the sac is completely free from its surrounding tissue. Any injured fibers of the external anal sphincter muscle are sutured with 3-0 Maxon and the skin closed using a subcuticular suture.
The MILA Retropulsion™ Catheter is a Short-Term Canine Urinary Drainage Catheter for sampling and drainage of the bladder in male dogs. The catheter allows for comprehensive retrograde hydropulsion of lodged urethral calculi into the urinary bladder. If clinically required, the catheter allows for rapid easy exchange to a Long-Term Foley using an open ended silicone Foley and guidewire.
Radiopaque polyurethane catheter with a tapered soft flexible tip designed to be atraumatic and safely pass the urethra into the bladder. The rigidity/stiffness is a hybrid between polypropylene and red rubber.
Multiple side holes with end-hole for maximum velocity saline vortex retrograde hydropulsion.
Blue color catheter ideal for accentuating the urethra during urethrostomy.
End-hole at the catheter tip allows passage of the guidewire (up to 0.035in) for rapid over the wire catheter exchange.
Centimeter markings for precise depth placement.
Luer lock end for easy connection to drainage bag or syringe.
Quality smooth transition from needle to catheter reduces burring and wasted sticks.
Introcan® Safety™ radiopaque polyurethane catheters feature a safety clip that automatically covers the needle point when it is withdrawn, reducing accidental needle sticks.
Kit includes catheter-over-needle introducer, a long catheter with stiffening wire and a drum.
The drum houses the long catheter and is an advancement system designed to minimize touch contamination.
Introduction technique: Long catheter through introducer catheter.
The INTRODUCER CATHETER REMAINS INDWELLING and the long catheter hub locks onto the introducer catheter hub. Since the introducer catheter remains indwelling, the long catheter can be easily replaced through the same introducer, avoiding another needle stick.
Long catheter material is radiopaque kink-resistant polyurethane, embedded with a fluoro-polymer formula designed to aid in ease of placement.
Administer vasopressor (i.e. norepinephrine ) when a central line is not accessible. Feed the long catheter through the peripheral catheter. The peripheral catheter is included in the kit to ensure that its inner diameter is sufficient for a smooth introduction of the long catheter.
