A peritoneal drainage catheter is a sterile flexible tube designed to be inserted through the skin into the peritoneal space, primarily used to drain excess fluid from conditions like ascites or abdominal abscesses. These devices help manage fluid buildup in the abdominal cavity, providing relief and treatment for various medical conditions.
Peritoneal drainage catheters are typically single-use devices and are supplied as sterile components for percutaneous insertion. They may include specialized devices for catheter introduction but do not come with fluid collection bags or containers.
