Height: 2 inches Length: 10 inches Width: 20 inches Expiration date: (Expired) Purpose: Like other cholangiogram catheters, its primary function is to facilitate the injection of contrast dye into the bile ducts during gallbladder removal surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy). This allows surgeons to visualize the biliary tree via X-rays (fluoroscopy) to detect gallstones, identify anatomical variations, and minimize the risk of bile duct injury. Design: It's a bilumen (dual-lumen) balloon catheter. This means it has two distinct channels: One lumen for inflating the balloon, which helps anchor the catheter in the cystic duct and prevents dye leakage. The other lumen for irrigation and injecting the contrast dye. Tip Style: It features a "Scoop Tip" design. This type of tip is specifically designed for easier and more stable placement within the cystic duct. It's often referred to as a "Reddick Scoop Tip" because of its association with the Reddick technique for cholangiography. Length: 50 cm. Diameter: 4 French (Fr). Radiopacity: The catheter body itself is non-radiopaque, preventing it from obscuring the bile ducts on the X-ray images. However, it typically has a radiopaque marker at the tip, making the balloon's position easily identifiable. Depth Markings: It commonly includes depth marks (e.g., at 2 and 3 cm) to assist in precise balloon placement within the cystic duct. Needle Introducer Set: The E2401-50 specifically refers to the catheter without the needle introducer set included as a separate component in the package. While a needle introducer is still necessary for percutaneous insertion into the abdomen, this particular SKU refers to the catheter alone. (The E2400-52, which you asked about previously, does include the needle introducer set). Manufacturer: While originally associated with Olsen Medical, these catheters are now primarily manufactured and distributed under the Symmetry Surgical (an Aspen Surgical company) and LeMaitre Vascular brands. You'll often see "Olsen Medical" listed as a previous or associated vendor. Usage: It's a sterile, single-use device. In summary, the Olsen Medical E2401-50 is a widely used cholangiogram catheter for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, characterized by its scoop tip, balloon for stabilization, and dual-lumen design, enabling effective visualization of the biliary system. The "E2401-50" specifically denotes the catheter without the needle introducer set. Feel free to contact us if you have any interest in any of the items listed.
