Introduction to ERCP Cannulas

An ERCP cannula is a medical tool used during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures. It helps doctors examine and treat issues in the bile and pancreatic ducts, like blockages or tumors. This flexible, single-use device ensures safe and precise interventions.

History of ERCP Cannulas

The ERCP cannula came about in the late 20th century as endoscopy techniques advanced. It was created to help doctors access the bile and pancreatic ducts more effectively during complex procedures. Over the years, better materials and features like radiopaque markers made it a go-to tool in gastroenterology. Today, it’s widely used for both diagnosis and treatment.

Key Features of the ERCP Cannula 

Advin Health Care crafts ERCP cannulas to meet the demands of modern gastroenterology. These tools feature radiopaque markers for clear visibility under X-ray, ensuring accurate navigation. Available in single or double lumen designs, they adapt to various procedure needs. Advin Health Care’s sterile, single-use cannulas reduce infection risks, prioritizing patient safety. They make ERCP procedures smoother, helping doctors achieve better results.

Procedures Using ERCP Cannulas

The ERCP cannula is essential in several procedures, including:

  • Clearing gallstones from bile ducts
  • Treating narrowed or blocked bile ducts
  • Addressing pancreatic duct obstructions
  • Diagnosing tumors through biopsies
  • Placing stents to support bile or pancreatic drainage

Simple Steps for Using the ERCP Cannula 

  1. Check that the cannula is sterile and sealed in its packaging.
  2. Guide the cannula through the endoscope’s working channel with fluoroscopy.
  3. Use a 0.035” guide wire to reach the targeted duct.
  4. Verify placement using the radiopaque markers on X-ray.
  5. Complete the procedure, then carefully withdraw the cannula.
  6. Dispose of the single-use cannula safely after use.
