Suprapubic Drainage Catheter Set
Suprapubic catheterisation involves inserting a drainage tube into the urinary bladder through the lower abdominal wall, just above the pubic symphysis. This approach serves as an alternative to urethral catheterisation when transurethral access is contraindicated, obstructed, or clinically undesirable.
The ASTER Suprapubic Drainage Catheter Set includes a silicone Foley catheter designed for patient comfort and long-term wear. All sets include a urine bag connector, scalpel, and a trocar or access system — varying by the puncture technique used. Select the variant below:
Metal Trocar
Classic direct puncture using a rigid metal trocar. Well-established technique suitable for most standard suprapubic catheterisation procedures.
View Details →Plastic Trocar
Lightweight plastic trocar for suprapubic access — preferred in settings where reduced instrument weight and tactile feedback are beneficial.
View Details →Seldinger Technique
Guidewire-based access for the least traumatic suprapubic approach. Ideal for difficult anatomy or cases requiring precision catheter placement over a wire.
