Cook Urological Drainage Set – Pleural/Pneumopericardial 8.5Fr G55723

The Cook Urological G55723 is a specialized Fuhrman Pleural/Pneumopericardial Drainage Set, featuring an 8.5 French (8.5Fr) catheter. This set is meticulously designed to provide effective drainage for two critical conditions: pleural effusions and pneumopericardium. Pleural effusions involve the accumulation of excess fluid in the pleural space, which surrounds the lungs, leading to respiratory distress. Pneumopericardium, on the other hand, refers to the presence of air or gas within the pericardial sac, which surrounds the heart, potentially causing cardiac tamponade. The 8.5Fr catheter is chosen for its optimal balance of drainage capacity and patient comfort. The set is likely to include additional components such as a drainage bag, connecting tubing, and possibly a needle or introducer, all designed to facilitate a safe and efficient drainage procedure. The Fuhrman design is intended to minimize trauma during insertion and maximize drainage efficacy. This set is intended for use by trained medical professionals in hospital or clinical settings.
