Rectal catheter 06560S30

double-balloonpediatricsilicone

Overview
The Cephus CatheterTM is a colorectal (rectal) catheter designed to instill air or fluid into the colon. It features a double-balloon configuration (one spherical balloon and one tapered balloon) that creates an airtight rectal seal to improve colon distention and reduce procedure time and insufflation gas volume.

Orderable variants

• Order Number: 06560S30 — Cephus CatheterTM, 30 French, silicone with radiopaque tip and radiopaque band along the shaft
• Order Number: 06560S20 — Cephus CatheterTM, 20 French, silicone with radiopaque tip and radiopaque band along the shaft

Features & Benefits

• Double-balloon design produces a leak-proof, airtight rectal seal
• Suitable for multiple colorectal procedures
• Available sizes: 20 Fr and 30 Fr
• Silicone construction for flexibility and patient compatibility
• Radiopaque tip and radiopaque band along the shaft to assist imaging
• Designed for use in pediatric and adult patients

Applications

• Virtual colonoscopy (CT colonography): Optimizes colon distention and airtight sealing to improve diagnostic yield while reducing procedure time and CO2 required.
• Barium enema: Prevents contrast leakage and provides a reliable seal for radiographic lower GI studies.
• Rectal contrast CT: Enables improved imaging and postoperative assessment (e.g., Low Anterior Resection) by creating a secure rectal seal.
• Intussusception reduction: Provides an airtight rectal seal that can improve reduction success and shorten procedure time in pediatric cases.
• Fistulagram / Sinogram: Seals the fistula/sinus opening to permit pressurized contrast injection for tract identification.
• Mucous fistula refeed: Inflating distal balloon intraluminally and proximal balloon externally creates a seal for controlled infusion without leakage.

Additional information
Trademark: Cephus CatheterTM. The catheter is engineered to provide a reproducible, airtight rectal seal through the combined action of a spherical and a tapered balloon and includes radiopaque markers to aid imaging guidance.
