Cystofix Balloon Catheter Set

Description

The B. Braun Cystofix Set Balloon is a sterile, single-use system designed for suprapubic catheterization and long-term suprapubic bladder drainage. It is supplied ready to use and is intended for clinical situations where ongoing suprapubic access is required, including repeated catheter replacement when clinically indicated.

A key feature of this set is its silicone catheter with a straight tip and an integrated low-profile balloon. The catheter is approximately 44 cm in length, providing a practical format for placement and drainage management. One validated specification identifies the balloon volume as 5 mL. The low-profile balloon design is intended to support smoother removal with a reduced risk of cuffing. Because there is no pronounced ridge after balloon deflation, reinsertion and scheduled exchange may also be easier in long-term management settings.

Clinical Use Considerations

This product family is used for suprapubic catheterization and continued bladder drainage over longer periods. The design is particularly relevant where atraumatic exchange and repeat replacement are important considerations.

Variant Information

The Cystofix Set Balloon family includes different set configurations. Some variants are exchange sets, while others are puncture or Seldinger-style sets that may include additional access components. Items such as guidewires, puncture needles, dilators, and related accessories are therefore variant-specific and should not be assumed to be included in every version of the product.
