Cook Open-End Ureteral Catheter G14429
The Open-End Ureteral Catheter G14429 is a sterile catheter used in urology to access the urinary tract. It has an open tip that allows passage over a guide wire for easier insertion into the ureter. It is commonly used for drainage, contrast injection, or irrigation during urinary tract procedures.
This catheter enables physicians to navigate a ureter — including looped or stenotic segments — by advancing the catheter over a guide wire, reducing trauma during insertion. Its 4.0 French size offers a good balance between being slim for access and having enough lumen for fluid drainage or contrast media delivery. It supports diagnostic procedures such as retrograde pyelogram, as well as therapeutic drainage or irrigation of the urinary tract. As a sterile, single-use device, it helps maintain aseptic conditions and minimizes infection risk in clinical settings.
