The Uresil percutaneous drainage catheters received FDA clearance through the 510k pathway on September 10, 1998. Manufactured by Uresil, this device is classified under product code LJE.
What It Is
The Uresil percutaneous drainage catheters are medical devices designed for the drainage of fluid collections within the body. They feature a hydrophilic coating that facilitates easier insertion and reduces friction. These catheters are typically used in minimally invasive procedures to manage abscesses, hematomas, or other fluid accumulations.
Clinical Applications
These catheters are commonly used in interventional radiology and surgical settings. They are employed in procedures such as abscess drainage, management of post-operative fluid collections, and in some cases, for draining pleural effusions. The device is suitable for use in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and is applicable to a wide range of patient populations, including those with complex medical conditions.
Indications for Use
The FDA-cleared indications for these catheters include the drainage of fluid collections like abscesses or post-surgical fluid build-ups. They are suitable for patients requiring minimally invasive management of such conditions.
Practical Considerations
The catheters come in various sizes to accommodate different clinical needs and patient anatomies. Their hydrophilic coating aids in smoother insertion and reduces patient discomfort. Clinicians should be familiar with ultrasound or CT guidance techniques for optimal placement.
Related Literature
The linked study focused on managing staple-line leaks following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, a complication in bariatric surgery. It highlighted the multidisciplinary approach required, involving surgical, medical, and radiological methods. The study provided insights into strategies for handling such leaks, though it was limited by its specific focus on a single type of surgical complication.
