Key Benefits

  • High Radiopaque Visibility: Fully impregnated with radiopaque contrast media for accurate fluoroscopic tracking.
  • Thermosensitive Flexibility: Enters firm for easy placement, then softens at body temperature to minimize intrarenal mucosal trauma.
  • Optimal Flow Dynamics: Multi-hole distal pigtail loop design maximizes urine outflow, preventing stagnation and infection.
  • Smooth Hydrophilic Outer Surface: Minimizes tissue drag through flank muscle and renal parenchyma during placement.
  • Universal Drainage Compatibility: Connects directly to standard urine collection bags and Luer flushing systems.
