S-Cath™ System
Advantages of S-Cath™ System
Greater control and accuracy
The 3 stage safety guidewire gives the user a high degree of control to allow for accurate placement
Reduced risk
Low risk of trauma and tissue damage for the patient. The catheter rarely needs to be inserted under general anaesthetic - reducing the associated risks in an at risk group of patients
Improved insertion and removal
The safety guidewire improves insertion and removal, guaranteeing insertion of the trocar along the anaesthetised track
Reduces costs and hospital stay
The procedure rarely needs to be undertaken as an inpatient, under general anaesthetic or in an operating room - reducing hospital stays, as well as reducing overall costs. Evidence shows the length of stay can be reduced from 2.3 days to a procedure time of 28 minutes
Greater confidence
The bladder is located with an 18g hypodermic needle, giving more confidence in inserting the trocar in to the bladder, as the track has already been secured by the guidewire
Frees up consultants time
Enhances out of hours services. Enables non-consultant grade clinical staff and suitably trained nurse practitioners to perform the procedure after training, thereby freeing up Consultant time
