Cook Ultraxx Nephrostomy Balloon Set G46024
The Ultraxx Nephrostomy Balloon Set G46024 is a sterile medical kit used in percutaneous kidney procedures to create or dilate a nephrostomy tract. It includes a balloon catheter, a sheath, and an inflation device. The balloon helps dilate the musculofascial tract, renal capsule, and parenchyma to allow safe access to the kidney.
The Ultraxx set is designed to safely and precisely dilate tissue and renal capsule to establish or maintain a percutaneous nephrostomy tract during urological procedures. Its balloon catheter features radiopaque marker bands, which improve visibility under imaging and ensure accurate positioning before dilation. The catheter’s short tapered tip allows closer proximity of the dilating tract to the surgical site — useful especially when accessing difficult-to-reach calyces or impacted stones. The set is intended for single-use (one procedure) and helps facilitate controlled dilation with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.
