Integra SP0224 Hermetic™ External Drainage Lumbar Catheter

LUMBAR CATHETER CLOSED TIPThe 80cm barium impregnated silicone lumbar catheter has a closed radiopaque tip and is supplied with a Teflon coated stainless steel guide wire and end stop for assisting catheter placement. Approximately 18mm of the tip is multi-perforated to help improve flow and decrease the possibility of obstruction. Designed for diverting fluid from the lumbar subarachnoid space, the catheter can be inserted with a Tuohy needle using percutaneous techniques. The external portion of the catheter is secured to the subcutaneous tissue in the lumbar area by the suture collar. A 14-guage thin wall Tuohy needle with obturator, guide wire, and 22-gauge blunt needle are included. A female luer adapter and train relief tubing is also included. Two suture collars may be wrapped around the catheter and may be anchored in place with a suture.
