About EUSTACHIAN CATHETOR

Eustachian catheter

A Eustachian catheter is a medical device used to help open the Eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear to the back of the throat. The tube plays a crucial role in maintaining ear pressure and draining mucus and fluids from the middle ear.

Types of Eustachian Catheters

Hartman Eustachian Catheters: These are metallic tubes used in otology (ear surgery) to deliver medications to the middle ear and remove foreign materials from the ear and nose. They are manufactured from high-quality German surgical stainless material.
Troeltsch Eustachian Catheters: Available in various lengths, including 150 mm, these catheters are made from stainless steel and used for procedures involving the Eustachian tube.

Designed for Safe and Precise Procedures

The Eustachian Catheter features a smooth, atraumatic olive tip for gentle and accurate placement, minimizing patient discomfort and tissue trauma. Its high flexibility ensures ease of navigation, making it especially suitable for delicate ear procedures. Compatible with most standard Eustachian dilators, the catheter supports efficient and safe otolaryngology interventions.

Flexible & Versatile Sizing Options

Available in commonly used sizes (6 FG, 8 FG, 10 FG) as well as custom dimensions, the catheter can accommodate patient-specific anatomical needs. Standard lengths range from 14-18 cm, ensuring suitability for both adults and pediatric applications. The translucent design allows for enhanced visibility during insertion.

Single-Use, Sterile, and Easy to Handle

Each catheter is individually sterilized using Ethylene Oxide (EtO) and sealed in a peel pouch for safety and convenience. Its lightweight and portable nature make it ideal for use in various clinical settings. Dispose of the catheter after single use according to medical guidelines, ensuring a consistently high standard of infection control.
