Cook Ultraxx Nephrostomy Balloon Set G46037
The Ultraxx Nephrostomy Balloon Set G46037 is a sterile balloon catheter kit used to dilate the tract for percutaneous kidney (nephrostomy) access. It includes a balloon catheter, a sheath, and an inflation device for controlled dilation. The balloon is radiopaque so its position can be seen under imaging during the procedure.
This nephrostomy balloon set is designed to dilate the musculofascial tract, renal capsule, and parenchyma to establish and maintain a percutaneous access tract to the kidney for interventions or drainage. The short tapered tip of the balloon catheter ensures the dilation tract reaches close to the surgical site — useful when accessing challenging or impacted calyceal stones. Radiopaque marker bands on the balloon provide clear visualization under X-ray or fluoroscopy so clinicians can confirm proper placement before dilation. The balloon’s high rated burst pressure supports effective tract dilation while minimizing risk, and the kit’s inclusion of sheath and inflator makes it ready-to-use in a sterile, single-use set.
