A new suprapubic cystostomy trocar system.
We describe a newly developed suprapubic catheterization set with a defined sigmoidal, geometrically and functionally tripartite tip and grooved trocar shaft. The device was designed to enhance the handling and safety features of the current commercially available sets to promote the broader application of suprapubic catheterization.
