Siebenmann Wash Catheter

Description

Siebenmann Wash Catheter

The Siebenmann wash catheter is a slim metal catheter for irrigation in ENT practice. Clinicians use a catheter like this to deliver rinse fluid through a narrow opening.

A slim irrigation tool

Narrow passages call for a narrow catheter. Therefore the small diameters let the clinician reach tight spaces without force. The fluid then flows exactly where it needs to go. A metal catheter also holds its shape better than soft tubing.

Five diameters

We list the catheter in 1.5, 1.7, 2, 2.5 and 3 mm diameters. The smallest sizes suit very narrow openings. Meanwhile, the larger ones allow more flow for a faster rinse.

In daily practice

Clinicians usually attach the catheter to a syringe. For example, they may flush in small, controlled amounts while watching the patient. A suction tip then clears the returning fluid.

Picking diameters

First, consider the openings you work with most. Next, choose two or three diameters to cover them. If you need length or connector details, write to us before ordering and we will reply with figures.

Caring for your Siebenmann wash catheter

Flush the lumen with clean water right after use. Then clean the inside with a fine wire of the right size. Because narrow tubes hold moisture, dry the lumen fully before sterilization.
