ABSTRACT:
A drainage catheter assembly for the insertion of a drainage catheter percutaneously includes a trocar, a cannula, a catheter stiffener, and a catheter. The trocar includes a distal pointed end, a proximal end, a uniform cross-sectional shape between the distal pointed end and the proximal end, and a means located at the proximal end for releasably connecting with a cannula. The cannula may include a distal end, a proximal end, a cannula lumen extending therethrough, and a means located at the proximal end for releasably connecting with the trocar and catheter stiffener. The catheter stiffener includes a distal end, a proximal end, a body portion comprising stiff material, a catheter stiffener lumen extending therethrough, and a means located at the proximal end for releasably connecting with the cannula and catheter. The elongated catheter includes a distal end containing a tapered tip, a proximal end, a catheter lumen extending therethrough, and a means for releasably connecting with the catheter stiffener.
