Thoracentesis-Paracentesis catheter (TPK)
Thoracentesis-Paracentesis catheter (TPK)
TPK is a catheter designed for thoracentesis (pleural drainage) and paracentesis (ascites drainage). It has a catheter over the needle which allows the needle to be pulled out before fluid is drained. This reduces the risk of injury.

Lower risk of obstruction
- The fenestrations of the catheter are spirally placed, which reduces the risk of obstruction and supports an optimal flow of fluid.
