Prior to the widespread use of CT or ultrasound imaging, major surgery was necessary to drain fluid collections. Now, percutaneous drainage is described as the treatment of choice for many types of fluid collections. Drainage catheters are a basic yet essential part of patient care. Boston Scientific’s Flexima® Catheter and Percuflex® All-Purpose Drainage Catheter families are designed for percutaneous drainage of abscess fluid, the biliary system and the urinary tract.
