Height: 1 inches Length: 7 inches Width: 31 inches Expiration date: (Expired) Cook Medical G09503 Ultratane Biliary Drainage Catheter 12 Fr x 25cm The Cook Medical G09503 is a Multipurpose Drainage Catheter. Here's a detailed breakdown of its features and typical uses: Manufacturer: Cook Medical, a prominent global company in medical devices. Product Number (GPN): G09503. Product Type: Multipurpose Drainage Catheter. This means it's designed to be versatile for various drainage needs within the body. Material: It's made from Ultratane, a proprietary polyurethane material developed by Cook. Ultratane is chosen for its: Flexibility: Allows for easier insertion and patient comfort. Kink resistance: Helps maintain an open lumen for continuous drainage. Biocompatibility: Suitable for indwelling (long-term placement) in the body. Size (French): 12 French (Fr). This is the outer diameter of the catheter. (1 French unit = 1​/​3 of a millimeter, so 12 Fr is approximately 4 mm in diameter). This is a common size for drainage catheters. Length: 25 cm. This is the total length of the catheter. Guidewire Compatibility: Designed to accept a 0.038 inch (0.97 mm) diameter guidewire, which is used to help navigate and place the catheter during the procedure. Sideports: It features 6 sideports (drainage holes) for efficient fluid removal. Hydrophilic Coating: The catheter is typically coated with an AQ Hydrophilic coating. When this coating gets wet (e.g., with sterile water or saline), it becomes very slippery, significantly reducing friction during insertion. This makes the procedure easier for the physician and potentially more comfortable for the patient. Radiopaque: The catheter material and​/​or an RB design radiopaque band makes it clearly visible under X-ray (fluoroscopy). This is critical for precise placement and monitoring during the procedure. Locking Mechanism: It features a Mac-Loc Locking Loop. This refers to the pigtail-shaped tip of the catheter that forms a loop once it's inside the body. The "Mac-Loc" mechanism provides a secure way to lock this pigtail loop in place, preventing the catheter from accidentally dislodging. Included Components (typically in the set): The multipurpose drainage catheter itself. A trocar stylet (often 18 gauge, used for direct stick access in some procedures). A rigid catheter introduction stiffening cannula. A flexible catheter introduction stiffening cannula. A catheter securement device. Sterility and Usage: Supplied sterile and intended for single-use. Purpose and Use: As a "multipurpose" drainage catheter, the Cook Medical G09503 is intended for percutaneous drainage (access through the skin) in a variety of clinical applications, including: Nephrostomy: Drainage of urine directly from the kidney when there's an obstruction in the urinary tract. Biliary Drainage: Drainage of bile from the bile ducts when they are blocked (e.g., by stones or tumors), alleviating jaundice and preventing infection. Abscess Drainage: Draining collections of pus (abscesses) from various parts of the body. Other Fluid Accumulations: Used for draining other unwanted fluid collections (e.g., pleural effusions, ascites) in appropriate clinical scenarios. It can be inserted using either a "direct stick" technique (where the catheter and stylet are advanced together directly into the target) or the Seldinger technique (using a guidewire). Its features, like the hydrophilic coating and locking loop, are designed to facilitate ease of insertion, secure placement, and effective, uninterrupted drainage.
