Technical Specifications
Part Number: 62290
Outer Diameter: 7.5 French 2.5mm
Length: 180 cm
Tip Style: Rounded, sealed tip
Aspiration Ports: Dual slit lateral openings
Material: Medical-grade, latex-free plastic
Sterility: Non-sterile (typically used in diagnostic procedures where a sterile field is not required for the catheter itself).
Key Features
Non-Traumatic Tip: The catheter features a rounded, sealed distal tip. This design is critical for minimizing mucosal damage as the catheter is advanced into the duodenum.
Wide Suction Area: The slit lateral openings are engineered to provide an ample suction area while preventing the catheter from "grabbing" or sucking in the delicate intestinal wall.
Extra-Long Design: At 180 cm, it is long enough to be used through most standard endoscopes or as a standalone device for deep duodenal access.
Dual Aspiration Ports: Having two ports ensures that if one becomes partially occluded by the mucosal wall, the other can continue to aspirate fluid effectively.
Medical Description
The 62290 is primarily a diagnostic tool used in gastroenterology. Its most common clinical application is the collection of duodenal bile to check for "microlithiasis" (gallbladder sludge or tiny cholesterol crystals).
Clinical Use Cases:
Biliary Drainage Analysis: Collecting fluid to identify the cause of idiopathic pancreatitis or unexplained biliary pain.
Duodenal Fluid Sampling: For testing pancreatic enzymes or checking for bacterial overgrowth.
Gentle Decompression: Removing small amounts of fluid or air during diagnostic procedures
