A ureteral catheter is a flexible tube inserted into the ureter—via a cystoscope, ureteroscope, or nephroscope—to assist in procedures like stone removal, dilation, or drainage. It may feature radiopaque materials for imaging guidance, multiple lumens for fluid delivery, or specialized tip shapes to navigate obstructions or facilitate biopsies.
These devices are typically single-use and regulated as medical instruments, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are used in surgical and diagnostic settings, often requiring compatibility with contrast agents or irrigation fluids during procedures.
