Cook Open-End Ureteral Catheter G14818
The Open-End Ureteral Catheter G14818 is a very thin, sterile tube used in urology to access the urinary tract. It has an open tip that allows passage over a guide wire, enabling safe navigation into the ureter. It is commonly used for contrast media delivery, fluid drainage, irrigation, or access in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
This catheter is designed to provide gentle and reliable access to the ureter, even in small or narrow urinary tracts, due to its small French size and open end. The open-end tip allows placement over a guide wire which helps negotiate looped or tortuous ureters with minimal trauma. It supports delivery of contrast media, irrigation or drainage fluids, or allows wire guide advancement for further instrumentation — useful in diagnostic imaging or interventional urology. Because it is sterile and single-use, it helps maintain aseptic conditions and reduces risk of infection.
