ERCP Catheter

An ERCP catheter (also called an ERCP cannula) is a single-use catheter that gives selective access to the bile duct or pancreatic duct during ERCP. Contrast medium is injected once the duct is entered. This 1.8 mm catheter has a Luer-Lock stylet and a radiopaque tip, runs over a guidewire, and comes with a standard or a tapered tip.

A single-use cannulation catheter (ERCP cannula) used for selective biliary or pancreatic duct access during ERCP.

In which cases?

  • Selective cannulation of the common bile duct or of the pancreatic duct.
  • Cholangiography or pancreatography with the guidewire left in the duct.
  • A difficult papilla, where the tapered tip is tried.
  • Wire-guided access held while the sphincterotome or a stent is brought in.

What makes it different?

  • Contrast is injected with the guidewire in place, so ductal access is not given up to opacify the duct.
  • Colour marks along the shaft, so cannulation depth is read off the endoscopic image.
  • A radiopaque tip, so the catheter is followed under fluoroscopy as it goes into the duct.

Frequently asked questions

What is an ERCP catheter (ERCP cannula)?

An ERCP catheter, also called an ERCP cannula or a cannulation catheter, is a single-use catheter used to enter the bile duct or the pancreatic duct during ERCP. The word cannulation is also used for vascular access and dialysis, and in heart surgery; ERCP cannulation means entering the bile duct or the pancreatic duct through the papilla. The catheter is used only together with an endoscope.

What size is an ERCP cannula, and which tips are supplied?

The catheter is 1.8 mm in diameter, and two tips are supplied: the standard tip and the tapered tip. Both take a guidewire up to 0.035 inch and both have a radiopaque tip.

What is an ERCP catheter used for?

The intended use is contrast medium injection into the biliary ducts, and the catheter is used only together with an endoscope.

What is the difference between an ERCP catheter and a sphincterotome?

The intended use of the catheter is contrast medium injection into the biliary ducts, and it carries no cutting wire. A sphincterotome opens the papillary orifice with a cutting wire and is used only with an endoscope, a high-frequency generator and an active cord. Either can be used for ERCP cannulation; the choice is the physician's.
