Title
Lymphangiogram Catheters
Description
A red cardboard box containing six individually packaged disposable lymphangiogram catheter sets.
Lymphangiography is a medical imaging technique used to visualise lymph nodes and lymph vessels. The procedure involves an injection of a small amount of blue dye between the toes. Thin, blueish lines then appear, helping to locate the lymph vessels. The area is numbed and a small surgical cut is made near one of these blue lines. A thin, flexible tube is inserted and contrast medium flows through the tube over 60 to 90 minutes. The contrast medium can then be seen spreading through the lymphatic system via live x-ray, also referred to as fluoroscopy.
