Metal Cathter 6FG 20cm

Clinical Application

This small-bore, metal 6FG catheter is intended for selective cannulation and short-run access where a rigid or semi-rigid lumen is required. Typical applications include targeted injection or aspiration, selective contrast injection during diagnostic procedures, temporary drainage of small-caliber channels, and guiding or exchanging finer devices during endoscopic, interventional, or urologic procedures. Its 20 cm length suits procedures requiring moderate reach without excess length in the field.

Design & Configuration

The metal tubular construction provides column strength and predictable torque transmission compared with soft polymer catheters, improving pushability and resistance to kinking when negotiating short, tortuous segments. The 6FG profile denotes a small external diameter suited to narrow lumens and pediatric or small-caliber applications. A fixed 20 cm length reduces excess catheter slack in the field and simplifies handling during device exchanges.
