Pericardiocentesis catheter

Definition
A flexible tube designed for the drainage of effusion from the pericardial sac (the pericardium). It typically consists of a thin walled, flexible, plastic [e.g., polyethylene (PE)] tube with a J-shaped distal tip perforated with multiple holes in both its convex and concave sides. It is introduced percutaneously into the pericardium, anchored in place, and connected to a water-seal drainage system. It can be left in situ for some days or weeks during the treatment of cardiac tamponade and can be used for the irrigation/instillation of drugs (e.g., antibiotics, cytotoxic agents) into the pericardium. This is a single-use device.
