Suprapubic drainage catheter

Definition

A sterile, flexible/semi-rigid tube intended to be inserted through a suprapubic (above the pubic arch) incision directly into the bladder of a male or female patient primarily for the drainage of urine, however it may also allow for infusion of fluid (e.g., medication, saline). It typically consists of a straight or angled, single-lumen tube which may have one of a variety of hole/tip configurations at the distal end (e.g., malecot or pigtail design). The proximal end remains external to the patient and has a connector for connection to a urine collection device. It may include a stiffening device to assist in its insertion. This is a single-use device.
