4A Pigtail Catheters With Safety Mechanism

SKU: 4A-RA-0017

The Pigtail Catheter with Safety Mechanism is an advanced percutaneous drainage device equipped with a secure cam-locking suture system to guarantee long-term retention inside body cavities. Designed to prevent accidental dislodgement caused by patient movement or external traction, the locking mechanism firmly secures the pigtail coil in its closed configuration. Constructed from soft, radiopaque polyurethane, it provides safe, prolonged drainage for abdominal abscesses, nephrostomies, pleural effusions, and ascites.

Key Benefits

  • Cam-Locking Safety Mechanism: Suture locking feature secures the distal pigtail loop, preventing accidental displacement.
  • Atraumatic Rounded Coil Profile: Prevents tissue perforation and mucosal damage inside the target fluid cavity.
  • Kink-Resistant Polyurethane Shaft: Maintains high-volume flow under patient body weight and movement.
  • Smooth Side Drainage Ports: Multi-hole inner-curve geometry prevents tissue occlusion and maintains suction flow.
  • Low-Profile Securement Hub: Compact locking hub sits flat against patient skin to minimize external snagging.
