A suprapubic catheter set (cystostomy set) places the catheter that drains the bladder through a puncture in the lower abdominal wall; the catheter is also known in Turkey as sistofiks. In the Seldinger technique the first puncture is 4 Fr and 17.5 G. Long tapered dilators then open the tract in stages, and the INTEGRAL silicone balloon catheter is placed.

A suprapubic catheter set (puncture set) for the Seldinger technique with a 4 Fr (Ch) / 17.5 G first puncture, placing the INTEGRAL pure-silicone balloon catheter for suprapubic bladder drainage.
A suprapubic catheter drains the bladder through the lower abdominal wall and does not enter through the urethra. The opening it uses is called a suprapubic cystostomy, which is why the set is also called a cystostomy set. In Türkiye the catheter is also known in everyday language as sistofiks. The physician decides who gets one and when. The set on this page is for placing the catheter with the Seldinger technique.
The first puncture is made with the 17.5 G cannula at Ch 4. The tract is then opened in two stages with the long tapered Ch 10 and Ch 14 dilators. The tip of the INTEGRAL catheter is a dilator, so it follows the Lunderquist wire through the fascia. The steps of the instructions for use apply in practice.
A urethral catheter, such as a Foley catheter, reaches the bladder through the urethra, and a suprapubic catheter through the lower abdominal wall. The physician decides which one suits the patient.
The change interval follows the instructions for use of the catheter and the treating physician. A patient or a relative does not set it.
The INTEGRAL dilating balloon catheter at Ch 12 with a 5 ml balloon, a Lunderquist guidewire at 0.035 inch and 70 cm with its introducer, a puncture cannula at 17.5 G and 1.3 mm with an 18.5 cm needle, two fascial dilators at Ch 10 and Ch 14, and a catheter plug. The carton holds five sets.
Because the tract is opened in stages after it: a first puncture at Ch 4 and 17.5 G, then a two-stage dilation with the long tapered Ch 10 and Ch 14 tips. The cannula and the dilators read on the X-ray, so each step is checked.

It is the same kind of device but a different product. Cystofix is a brand name of B. Braun for suprapubic catheter sets, and in Türkiye the name is also used in everyday language for suprapubic catheters in general. The name belongs to its owner, and the set on this page is not a Cystofix product. This page does not compare the two sets.
