Introduction to Malecot Nephrostomy Catheter: Secure Drainage with Petal-Tip Design
A Malecot Nephrostomy Catheter is used to drain urine from the kidney when normal urinary flow is blocked. It features a winged (Malecot) tip that helps anchor the catheter in the renal pelvis. The catheter is inserted percutaneously under imaging guidance for effective kidney drainage.
The Evolution of Malecot Catheters: Reliable Renal Drainage in Urological Procedures
The Malecot catheter design was introduced decades ago as an effective way to maintain catheter position in hollow organs. Its winged tip offered better retention than straight catheters, especially in the kidney. Over time, it became a preferred choice for nephrostomy drainage due to its stability and ease of insertion. Today, it is widely used in emergency and surgical urology across the world.
