Abstract

Ultrasound guided transvaginal drainage of abscesses in the small pelvis is usually performed using needles or stiff pig tail catheters without internal fixation. To prevent dislodgement during the subsequent drainage and irrigation procedure, we have developed a new soft 7 F balloon catheter for continuous transvaginal drainage. The catheter is made of soft C-flex and contains two channels, one for drainage and one for inflating a small distal balloon (outer diameter, 10 mm).
