Abstract

See full text

A drainage catheter having a weld to secure the distal end of the catheter in an anchor configuration. The suture is welded into a loop at the distal end of the suture to secure the anchor configuration of the distal end of the catheter either directly or by securing the suture to a stylet positioned in the catheter wall. A plurality of drainage bores are positioned on the inside diameter of the anchor loop to provide advantageous draining of fluid into the lumen of the catheter. The drainage catheter includes a stylet and stylet lumen positioned in the sidewall of the catheter approximately 90 degrees from the inside diameter of the catheter tube and drainage allowing the drainage bores on the inside diameter of the drainage catheter to operate without obstruction from the stylet and suture.
