The SUB is a unique system designed for use in dogs and cats. Components of the device are a locking loop pigtail catheter that is placed in the renal pelvis, a fenestrated and cuffed bladder catheter, and a titanium Shunting Port which is positioned subcutaneously. This allows sampling and flushing to be carried out percutaneously.
The kidney catheter has an 8mm locking pigtail and tapered tip, to allow easier placement. A metal stiffening cannula and trochar stylet is included. The radiopaque medical grade polyurethane catheter has a marker band at the loop heel for visualisation using fluoroscopy during placement. A version for larger dogs is available with a longer locking loop catheter. This is 38cm compared to the 18cm in the standard kits.
The bladder catheter is made of radiopaque silicone, again visible under fluoroscopy. A new addition is a radio-opaque marker on the bladder catheter to allow surgeons to confirm all the fenestrations are in the bladder.
Indications for use include ureteral strictures and ureteral stent reaction or intolerance. It is contraindicated where coagulopathy or mild hydronephrosis are present.
Additional accessories are available to allow 2 kidney catheters to be connected to 1 bladder catheter.
