Catheter Stabilization with CaTHSTiX

 During ureteral access and retrograde pyelography, once optimal fluoroscopic alignment is obtained, CaTHSTiX provides immediate, reversible stabilization of the ureteral catheter, allowing you to step away from the radiation field. By increasing distance from the source, this simple step helps meaningfully reduce exposure in accordance with the inverse square law—supporting contemporary efforts to minimize occupational radiation risk.

Align. Stabilize. Step back.

CaTHSTiX offers rapid, reliable catheter securement, maintaining precise position during wire advancement, ureteral dilation, and stent placement. This stability supports efficient workflow while preserving control at every procedural step.

Re-access is immediate. The ureteral catheter can be quickly re-instrumented with CaTHSTiX in place—whether used with or without sutures. When sutures are used, repositioning does not require cutting, reducing procedural steps and maintaining efficiency.

Designed to integrate seamlessly into existing practice, CaTHSTiX adapts to operator technique and patient anatomy and is universally compatible with all major ureteral catheter brands.
