Device typeNephrostomy catheter: A sterile, flexible tube intended to be inserted percutaneously into the renal pelvis to gain access to the upper urinary tract. This device consists of a large-bore (sizes from 14 to 24 Fr are typical), thin-walled tube usually with a self-retained tip; it sometimes has expanding wings on its tip. It is used to perform drainage for relief of supravesicular obstructions and may also be intended for a variety of procedures of the upper urinary tract including dilation of strictures, removal of calculi, perfusion with chemolytic agents for dissolution of renal stones, or ureteral stenting. This is a single-use device.
