PCN Catheter – Essential for Kidney Drainage in Obstructive Uropathy

Introduction to PCN Catheter: Reliable Renal Drainage for Percutaneous Access

A PCN Catheter is used to drain urine directly from the kidney when the normal flow is blocked. It is inserted through the skin into the renal pelvis under imaging guidance. This catheter helps relieve pressure and prevent kidney damage due to obstruction.

Development of PCN Catheters – Advancing Precision in Nephrostomy Procedures

Percutaneous nephrostomy was first introduced as an alternative to open surgical drainage. Early catheters were rigid and difficult to place, increasing patient discomfort. Modern PCN catheters are made from soft, flexible materials and can be inserted with minimal trauma using imaging techniques. Today, PCN catheters are a vital tool in both emergency and elective urological interventions worldwide.

What is a PCN Catheter? A Quick Overview for Clinical Applications

Advin Health Care provides high-quality PCN Catheters designed for safe and effective kidney drainage during urinary obstruction. These catheters are made from medical-grade materials like polyurethane or silicone, offering optimal flexibility and patient comfort. Advin Health Care ensures the catheter is radiopaque for precise placement under fluoroscopic or ultrasound guidance. It features a specially shaped tip (malecot or pigtail) to anchor securely in the kidney. Ideal for use in cases of ureteral blockages, tumors, or post-surgical complications, this catheter supports effective nephrostomy drainage with minimal patient risk.
