The intraspinal catheter creates a pathway for medication flowing from the pump to the drug delivery site. Medtronic intraspinal catheters come in one and two piece models. The silicone, radiopaque catheter body is elastic, flexible and trimmable. InDura® Intrathecal Catheter Model 8709SC The 8709SC consists of a one-piece catheter body and a catheter interface with the Sutureless Pump Connector designed for use in the intrathecal space. Made of radiopaque silicone rubber, it is flexible and trimmable at the pump end of the placed catheter. The Sutureless Pump Connector allows for connection to the pump at the catheter port. The spinal end of the catheter has a closed tip and six holes for fluid delivery. To aid in catheter placement, it is marked at 1-cm increments between 12 cm and 81 cm. A guide wire in the lumen provides additional stiffness and catheter tip control during placement.
InDura® Intrathecal Catheter Sutureless Pump Connector Model 8731SC The 8731SC is a two-piece catheter designed for use in the intrathecal space. It is made of radiopaque silicone rubber for elasticity and flexibility. The pump and spinal segments are trimmable. The Sutureless Pump Connector on the pump segment facilitates connection to the pump at the catheter port. A pre-attached strain-relief sleeve and connector pin allow for connection to the spinal catheter segment. The distal end of the spinal segment has a closed tip and six side holes for fluid delivery. To aid in catheter placement, the spinal segment is marked in 1 cm increments starting at the 14 cm mark. A guide wire in the lumen provides additional stiffness and catheter tip control during placement.
