Description

The CYSTODRAIN SUPRAPUBIC CATHETER by Coloplast is a specialized medical device designed to provide effective urinary drainage through suprapubic catheterization. This catheter is intended for single-use and is supplied in a sterile condition, making it suitable for use in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare environments. It serves patients with urinary incontinence, urinary retention, or other bladder-related conditions, offering a reliable solution for bladder management.

Key Features

• Material Options: Available in silicone with an integrated balloon, and hydrogel-coated latex for those without latex sensitivity. The latex-free option ensures compatibility for patients with specific material needs.
• Retention Balloon: Features an integral balloon for secure placement within the bladder.
• Size Variability: Offered in sizes CH 10, CH 12, CH 14, CH 16, CH 18, and CH 20, allowing clinicians to select the appropriate size based on individual patient requirements.

Kit Options

The catheter is available in various kit configurations to meet diverse clinical needs:

• Complete Punction Set: Available in sizes Ch 10, 12, and 14.
• Light Punction Set: Available in sizes Ch 10, 12, and 14.
• Dilation Set: Available in sizes Ch 12, 14, and 16.
• Replacement Kits: Includes options with a guidewire and simple replacement kits ranging from Ch 10 to 20.

Some kits include accessories such as a splittable trocar (12 cm) to facilitate insertion.

Packaging

The catheter is packaged in boxes of 5 units for certain models, while others are individually packaged, ensuring flexibility and convenience for healthcare providers.

Management and Care

Proper management involves:

• Insertion: Conducted by trained clinicians using a sterile technique. The balloon is inflated post-insertion to confirm urine flow.
• Site Care: Emphasizes hygiene, keeping the cystostomy site clean and dry, and using appropriate dressings.
• Self-Care: Patients are advised to maintain hand hygiene, avoid certain products near the site, and monitor for any signs of infection or discomfort.

Replacement and Monitoring

Catheter replacement typically occurs 4–8 weeks after initial insertion and is performed by a specialist. Maintaining a closed sterile drainage system is crucial to minimize infection risk, with regular replacement of leg bags and catheter valves.

Special Considerations

• Material Selection: Hydrogel-coated latex catheters offer comfort but are not suitable for those with latex sensitivity. Silicone catheters provide a larger internal lumen, beneficial for patients prone to occlusion.
• Catheter Design: Short-tipped or short-length catheters may be preferred for patients with bladder spasms or for comfort in smaller individuals.

The CYSTODRAIN SUPRAPUBIC CATHETER is a versatile and essential tool in urological care, tailored to meet the specific needs of patients and healthcare professionals alike.
