Multi-purpose percutaneous abdominothoracic drainage catheter

Multi-purpose percutaneous abdominothoracic drainage catheters are flexible tubes designed for drainage across multiple body cavities, including the pleural space, peritoneal cavity, biliary tract, and nephrostomy sites. Clinically, they enable both short-term and long-term drainage of fluids like pus, bile, or excess fluid, often used in cases of infections, blockages, or post-surgical care.

These devices are typically single-use and may come with disposable accessories for insertion. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their primary use and risk level, with design and safety standards ensuring proper drainage functionality and infection control.
