    A novel abscess drainage catheter features a replaceable sump lumen. This innovation aims to decrease the need for frequent catheter changes during percutaneous abscess drainage procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Devices
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Interventional Radiology

    Background:

    • Percutaneous abscess drainage is a common procedure.
    • Catheter replacement is often required due to lumen occlusion or malfunction.
    • Frequent catheter changes increase patient discomfort and healthcare costs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new abscess drainage catheter design.
    • To evaluate the potential of a replaceable sump lumen to reduce catheter replacement frequency.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of a novel catheter with a replaceable sump lumen.
    • Discussion of its application in percutaneous abscess drainage.

    Main Results:

    • The new catheter design is presented.
