Loop-tip technique for replacing dislodged catheters

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Accidental catheter dislodgement is a common occurrence following placement of drainage and vascular catheters. Several methods have been developed to replace dislodged catheters using existing catheter tracts. We describe a new technique using an adjustable self-centering “Loop-Tip” catheter to facilitate salvage of catheter tracts. The technique may be suitable for re-canalization of a wide variety of catheter tracts and sinus tracts.
