A Uterine Flushing Catheter - Foley Type w/Y Junction refers to a medical device used in veterinary medicine, particularly in equine reproductive procedures, where a standard Foley catheter is modified with a "Y" shaped junction, allowing for simultaneous fluid infusion and drainage during uterine flushing or lavage procedures; essentially, it enables the veterinarian to both introduce a cleansing solution into the uterus and collect the flushed fluid from the same catheter simultaneously.
Foley Catheter Base:
The primary design is based on a standard Foley catheter, which has a balloon tip that can be inflated once inserted into the uterus to hold it in place.
"Y" Junction:
The key feature is the "Y" shaped connector on the catheter tubing, allowing for two separate fluid lines to be attached - one for inflow (introducing flushing solution) and one for outflow (collecting the flushed fluid).
Insertion: The Foley catheter is inserted into the uterus through the cervix.
Balloon Inflation: Once in position, the balloon is inflated with a small amount of fluid to secure the catheter within the uterus.
Flushing Procedure:
One arm of the "Y" junction is connected to a fluid bag containing the flushing solution.
The other arm of the "Y" is connected to a collection container.
Fluid is gently infused into the uterus through the inflow line, while the flushed fluid is simultaneously collected through the outflow line.
