Introduction to Ureteric Catheter: Essential for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Urological Access
A Ureteric Catheter is a thin, flexible tube used to access or drain the ureter during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. It is commonly inserted through the urethra and bladder into the ureter. The catheter helps in locating stones, injecting contrast, or decompressing the urinary tract.
Evolution of Ureteric Catheters: Advancing Ureteral Navigation and Drainage
Ureteric catheters have been used in urology for over a century, evolving from rigid to soft, flexible designs for safer navigation. Originally developed to relieve ureteral blockages, their role expanded with imaging and endourology advancements. Today’s catheters are radiopaque, kink-resistant, and available in multiple tip configurations. They are essential tools in procedures like retrograde pyelography, ureteroscopy, and stent placements.
What is a Ureteric Catheter? A Clinical Overview of Purpose and Design
Advin Health Care offers high-quality Ureteric Catheters designed for reliable ureteral access, navigation, and drainage. Manufactured using medical-grade materials, these catheters are radiopaque and available in various tip styles such as open-end, closed-end, or cone-tip for specific urological needs. Advin Health Care ensures smooth surface finish for patient comfort and precise control during insertion. These catheters are compatible with guidewires and imaging systems, making them ideal for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Widely used in stone retrieval, ureteral stenting, and contrast injection, they are essential in modern urology procedures.
Surgical Applications: Used in Ureteral Identification, Drainage & Retrograde Pyelography
- Ureteroscopy
- Retrograde Pyelography
- Ureteral Stent Placement
- Percutaneous Nephrostomy (Antegrade Stenting)
- Lithotripsy Procedures
- Ureteral Obstruction Relief
How to Use a Ureteric Catheter: Step-by-Step Guide for Safe and Effective Placement
- Open the sterile pack and choose the correct size and tip configuration
- Lubricate the catheter and insert through the cystoscope or urethral sheath
- Advance the catheter into the ureter under fluoroscopic guidance
- Inject contrast if required to visualize ureteral anatomy
- Secure the catheter or exchange with a guidewire or stent as needed
Also Known As – Alternate Names and Synonyms for Ureteral Catheters
Ureteric Access Catheter, Ureteral Catheter, Open-End Ureteric Catheter, Closed-End Ureteric Tube, Cone Tip Ureteric Catheter, Urology Ureteral Access Tube, Retrograde Ureteric Catheter, Radiopaque Ureteral Catheter, Ureteric Diagnostic Catheter, Ureter Drainage Catheter
Market Trends – Rising Demand for Disposable and Radiopaque Ureteric Catheters
The global demand for Ureteric Catheters is rising due to increasing incidence of kidney stones and ureteral obstructions. Hospitals are adopting single-use, sterile catheters to reduce cross-infection and improve procedure efficiency. Advances in minimally invasive urology, such as flexible ureteroscopy and fluoroscopy-guided stenting, have made ureteric catheters a daily-use tool in urology suites. Radiopaque, kink-resistant designs with multiple tip options are now preferred for precision and versatility.
