The Romsons Thoracic Trocar Catheter is a medical device intended for professional use in clinical settings for pleural and chest drainage. It is designed to assist in the removal of air or fluid from the pleural space in conditions such as tension pneumothorax, hemothorax, or pleural effusion. The catheter is constructed from medical-grade PVC and is fitted over a trocar to facilitate insertion. Its design focuses on procedural convenience and patient comfort during thoracic interventions.
Medical-Grade PVC Catheter: The catheter is manufactured from medical-grade PVC material that fits securely over the trocar.
Blunt and Smooth Tip: The design incorporates a blunt yet smooth tip to reduce potential trauma to tissues during insertion.
Flat Handle Design: A flat handle is included to provide a firm grip and allow for easier maneuverability and control during placement.
Depth Markings: The catheter features markings at 5, 10, 15, and 20 cm from the distal tip to help medical professionals ascertain the depth of penetration.
Drainage Eyes and Connector: It is designed with large, smooth drainage eyes for fluid removal and has a tapered proximal connector for easy attachment to a drainage bottle.
