XpressO Kink Resistant Design

Decathlon’s superior middle wall septum design enhances kink resistance as compared to other split tip and fixed tip polyurethane catheters.

Kink-Resistant Design

Unlike other catheters, the Pourchez XpressO has a Kink-Resistant body, the result of a carefully selected combination of design and materials. Even severe bends in the catheter do not reduce flow (data on file). This increases catheter placement flexibility and minimizes the need for subsequent intervention due to kinking. It also eliminates the need for pre-curved catheter designs (see the photo below).

Conventional catheters can kink during or after insertion, resulting in decreased or occluded flow and the need for additional intervention.
