Step 1

After insertion of Quill^® Catheter Guide Assembly, the Y-TEC^® scope is advanced into the furthest visible space within the abdomen avoiding adhesions and omentum.

Step 2

After the best location for the catheter is determined, the scope is removed and the 2.5mm (approx.) puncture is dilated to the catheter's diameter.

Step 3

The catheter is implanted by slowly advancing the catheter (with the stylette in it) through the Quill^® Catheter Guide.

Step 4

The Y-TEC^® Cuff Implantor^® Tool is used to securely and safely implant the distal cuff into the musculature.

Step 5

After the Cuff Implantor^® Tool, Quill^® Guide, and stylette are removed the catheter is tested. If the catheter functions well, it is tunneled with the Y-TEC^® Tunnelor^® Tool.
