Pigtail/Malecote Direct Puncture Set
Description
Design for percutaneous nephrostomy following the “direct puncture” technique, particularly when there is a dilated urine collection system, a hydronephrosis. As there is no dilatation performed, the procedure does away with the use of guidewire and fascial dilators.
Key features
- Materials provide superior biocompatibility and drainage.
- Highly radiopaque for precise placement.
- Set may also be used for cyst and abscess drainage.
