Additional Information for Suprapubic Catheter Exchange Kit
A Suprapubic Catheter Exchange Kit is a medical device used for the replacement or exchange of a suprapubic catheter. A suprapubic catheter is a type of urinary catheter that is inserted into the bladder through a small incision made in the lower abdomen, rather than through the urethra.
The Suprapubic Catheter Exchange Kit typically includes various components necessary for the catheter exchange procedure, such as:
1. Catheter: A new suprapubic catheter is included in the kit for insertion into the bladder.
2. Dilators: These are used to dilate the tract created by the previous catheter, making it easier to insert the new catheter.
3. Guidewire: A thin, flexible wire used to guide the new catheter into the bladder.
4. Introducer Sheath: A hollow tube that is inserted into the tract to provide a pathway for the new catheter.
5. Drainage Bag: A bag that collects urine from the catheter and is attached to the catheter tubing.
6. Sterile Gloves and Drapes: These are used to maintain a sterile environment during the catheter exchange procedure.
Suprapubic Catheter Exchange Kits are commonly used in medical settings, such as hospitals or clinics, by healthcare professionals trained in catheterization procedures. They are designed to provide a convenient and sterile solution for replacing or exchanging suprapubic catheters.
