The present disclosure relates to a drainage catheter and methods of use for providing catheterization procedures, such as during a percutaneous nephrostomy. The drainage catheter includes a body including a first tube segment and a second tube segment connected to one another at a curved end portion to form a continuous body structure. An inner surface of the curved end portion includes one or more drainage openings extending therethrough, with an outer surface of the curved end portion free of drainage openings. The openings are in communication with a lumen that extends through the drainage catheter to provide a pathway for removing fluid from the kidney. The drainage catheter is inserted into the kidney via a first insertion site and exits via a second insertion site.

Drainage catheter

Medical devices for delivering a plug to a void within a patient. The medical device can include a fluid delivery device and a plug holder (e.g., a plug delivery device) coupled to a distal end of the fluid delivery device. The medical device may be configured such that the delivery of fluid from the fluid delivery device wets the plug, ejects the plug from the plug holder, and pushes the plug through a lumen of an elongate tube to a void within a patient.

Medical devices for delivering plugs to voids

Medical devices for delivering compositions or medical articles to a patient are disclosed. The medical plug delivery devices can include a fluid delivery device (e.g., a syringe), a frame, and a rotatable magazine. The rotatable magazine can include a plurality of chambers that each hold a composition or a medical article (e.g., a medical plug). By rotating the rotatable magazine relative to the frame, material within the chambers of the rotatable magazine can be sequentially deployed to a patient.

Medical plug delivery devices with a rotatable magazine and related components and methods

Hemostasis valves and hemostasis valve systems are provided. A hemostasis valve can include a valve member, wherein the valve member includes a first sealable opening disposed through a first portion of the valve member and a second sealable opening disposed through a second portion of the valve member. The valve member may also include three or more sealable openings. A hemostasis valve system may include a hemostasis valve and another medical device. The hemostasis valve may be releasably coupleable to the other medical device.

Hemostasis valves having multiple sealable openings

Vascular access devices, assemblies, kits, and related methods are disclosed. A vascular access assembly may include a first tubular conduit, a second tubular conduit, and an expandable stent graft that is coupled adjacent to a peripheral end of the second tubular conduit. When implanted into the patient, vascular access assemblies may form a flow path that extends from an artery or an arteriovenous graft to a heart of a patient. The vascular access assembly, when implanted and assembled, may be a fully subcutaneous surgical implant.
