Nasobiliary Drainage Catheter

A nasobiliary drainage catheter (ENBD) placed during ERCP for temporary external drainage of the bile duct through the nasal passage.

In which cases?

  • Cholangitis needing decompression before a definitive procedure can be planned.
  • Bile output measured after ERCP, with a route for irrigation of the duct.
  • A bridge before definitive stenting or surgery in an unstable patient.
  • A bile leak followed for a few days before the drain is simply pulled.

What makes it different?

  • Bile leaves the body, so output and quality can be seen, and the drain comes out without a second procedure.
  • Balanced wall thickness; the manufacturer states the lumen shape is held along the nasal route.
  • Standard, pigtail and standard-plus-pigtail tips from 5 to 10 French.
  • Drainage catheter, nasal tube, connection tube and connector supplied as a set, and separately as parts.
