A catheter stylet is a slender, flexible wire or rod inserted inside a catheter to temporarily stiffen it, making it easier to guide through body passages during procedures like insertion or navigation. It helps clinicians navigate complex routes, such as blood vessels or airways, with greater precision and control.
These devices are typically single-use and come in various lengths and stiffness levels to suit different catheter types. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk profile, with compliance requirements tied to their clinical application and material composition.
