What is it indicated for?
The Insulator Wire Guide will be used either inside or alongside a urological catheter or electrosurgical catheter for catheter positioning or exchange in the urinary tract. When used with an electrosurgical catheter, the Insulator Wire Guide will decrease the risk of alternate site burns to the patient. This device is intended for one-time use.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
