Cystofix® SG set

Fordele

Sterility 

• Cystofix® is a range of sterile, state-of-the-art catheters and catheter placement / exchange accessories for suprapubic catheterisation.^{1, 2, 3} 

Patient Comfort 

• Depending on circumstances, suprapubic catheterization can be the preferred method of indwelling urinary catheterization, particularly in terms of incidence of asymptomatic bacteriuria and patient comfort.¹ 
• The silicone catheters from the Cystofix® SG range have incorporated balloons.⁴
• Short tip silicone balloon catheters such as those of the Cystofix® provide increased patient comfort compared to balloon catheters with a long extremity.⁴
• Cystofix® SG uses a placement method (Seldinger technique) where the initial puncture of the abdominal wall is made with an 18G needle whose diameter is much less than that of a splitable cannula.⁵

Usage Time 

• The biological tolerability of the silicone material used for the Cystofix® balloon catheters allow for durations of use of up to 30 days and for replacement as many times as clinically needed.⁴ 

Balloon Catheter

• Made of silicone to allow a usage up to 30 days
• Printings from the catheter enable the user to determine the catheter's position in the bladder or in the cannula, during puncturing
• Available with 40 cm length (straight tip)
• Open tip to enable the use of a guidewire during the replacement
• For easier removal with reduced risk of cuffing
• For easier insertion at catheter replacement (no ridge)
• Y-shaped connector, with anti-reflux valve and Luer-Lock fitting
• Can be replaced repeatedly as appropriate over long periods of time

Guidewire

• Made of stainless-steel with PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
• Used for Seldinger Technique method, allows a path for the catheter insertion after dilator removal
• Stiff shaft
• Straight and flexible tip

Dilator

• For Cystofix® SG, enables the user to dilate the suprapubic path after guide wire positioning
• Smooth color-coded shape dilator available from CH10 to CH16

Introducer

• For Cystofix SG, allows a path for the catheter insertion after dilator remova
• Introducer wings enable the user to split the introducer by halves for removal

 Stopper

• To stop the urine flow on demand

Puncture Needle

• Enables the user to puncture the abdominal wall till the bladder
• Made of stainless-steel with 18G and 12cm length
• Used for Seldinger Technique method, allows a path for the guidewire insertion after the local injected anesthetic

Scalpel

• Enables the user to cut the skin before the abdominal wall puncture

Syringes 10 and 20 ml

•  20ml syringe used to inject anesthesia through abdominal wall till the bladder
• 10ml syringe used to inflate the balloon of the catheter

Therapy application 

• Suprapubic catheterization is a bladder management method where a catheter is inserted through the abdominal wall into the bladder and maintained in place for continuous urinary drainage. 
• The Cystofix® SG product range is intended to be used for the drainage of the bladder through the abdominal wall, on the median line of the body above the symphysis (puncture set). 
• The catheter is introduced in the bladder to allow the drainage after surgery, in case of bladder dysfunction or urinary retention.
