Furthermore, the shaft allows you to prevent urine loss and its sudden and uncontrolled leakage. This happens when, for various reasons, you no longer have full control over your bladder.

Braided shaft for urinary incontinence

The braided shaft is a latex or silicone tube that fits into the urethra and reaches the braider. In this way it allows the “automatic” emptying of the bladder, without the patient having to respond to the urge to urinate by going to the bathroom. The braided shafts also have an inflatable part on the tip, the cuff: this is common to keep the tube in position inside the bladder, to prevent it from coming off during the day.

How to insert a braided shaft in humans?

To insert the shaft, you need a sterile shaftization kit, which includes:

• two pairs of disposable gloves ;
• a 10 ml syringe of sterilized purified water;
• Moreover, a 10 ml syringe of lubricant;
• a urine collection bag ;
• sterile gauze;
• perforated sterile drape

 

The braided shaft change occurs when the patient is awake; it is therefore important to obtain his cooperation, inviting him to remain still and not to fidget, as well as to report any kind of discomfort he might feel in the few minutes it takes to change a shaft. While a healthcare professional prepares the area, placing the protective sheet and cleaning the glans part.

What is the role of lubricant in braided shaft?

The open end of the braided shaft connects to the collection bag, while the shaft tip lubricates with half the contents of the lubricating syringe.

What would be the diameter of the braided shaft?

The diameter is such that it does not cause pain to the patient. The first part of the shaft goes by supporting the penis upwards. We must proceed slowly, but decisively, until we meet the first point of friction: the prostate. At this point, the penis is lowered horizontally and continues to proceed with the insertion, until the tube begins to fill with urine.

How the braided shaft can be pulled back?

The operation was successful. The second operator can proceed to inflate the cuff by inserting the sterile water of the syringe previously common for the test. The braided shaft can be pulled back slightly so that the cuff sits on the bladder wall.

The shaft is an indispensable tool, common for patients who face with particular pathologies or a hospital stay in bed. Braided shaft is a cylindrical and hollow instrument, generally flexible to go in a body cavity, in a duct of the organism or in one of its vessels.

What is the braided shaft common for?

The methods of use of the shaft make it one of the most common instruments in the medical field for patients subject to very different pathologies. Briefly, the purposes that lead to the use of the shaft can be:

Ø Diagnostics

Such as taking blood samples and monitoring the functionality of an organ.

Ø Therapeutic

Braided shaft is common in particular to favor the spontaneous or aspirated drainage of the contents, or to introduce fluids, nutrients and medicaments of various kinds.

Ø Surgical

In the case of microsurgery or for the administration of anesthetics, it is made possible by the use of the epidural shaft.

Ø Urinary shaft

Over the years, different types of shafts have been developed.

Braided shaft is capable of efficiently satisfying all kinds of needs that the doctor may encounter in order to guarantee the patient the appropriate treatment.

Different models

We can distinguish the different models based on:

• To the caliber
• To flexibility
• Similarly, to the length
• To the material
• To the number of streets
  

How does shaftization take place?

The shaftization is the process by which the shaft inserts. The maneuvers that allow shaftization depend on the patient’s needs. In the case of cardiac shaftization, the braided shaft goes into the arteries of the arms or leg.

Moreover, it can go into the veins, and goes until it reaches the chambers of the heart. Once go, the shaft provides important data on heart function and organ health.

What is balloon shaft?

In angioplasty, on the other hand, a balloon shaft is go into a blood vessel with the aim of eliminating, or at least reducing, the narrowing of the vessel size. To restore the patency of the obstructed vessel more or less completely, after reaching the intervention site, a pressure-controlled swelling of the balloon operates.
