Catheter designed to irrigate salivary ducts and flush stones.

Bloomington, Ind.-based Cook Medical, a division of Cook Group Inc., has released Sialocath salivary duct catheter. The device is meant to irrigate the salivary ducts and flush out stone fragments. It is a flexible, soft-tipped, single-lumen catheter indicated for use in the submandibular or parotid glands. It can be inserted into a salivary duct over a wire guide or through a Kolenda introducer sheath.

“SialoCath provides physicians with a minimally invasive tool for treating patients during in-office or surgical sialendoscopy procedures,” said Thomas Cherry, global leader of Cook’s Otolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS) clinical division. “The development of this catheter is part of Cook’s long-standing commitment to creating innovative devices that fulfill clinical needs.”
