Catheters
Comparison of Intrathecal Catheter Models 8709SC and 8731SC
The intrathecal catheter creates a pathway for medication flowing from the pump to the drug delivery site. Medtronic intrathecal catheters come in one - and two - piece models. The silicone, radiopaque catheter body is elastic, flexible, and trimmable.

Indura 1P Model 8709SC
Medtronic Intrathecal Catheter Indura 1P Model 8709SC with Sutureless Connector
The Indura® 1P 8709SC intrathecal catheter consists of a one-piece catheter body and a catheter interface with the sutureless pump connector designed for use in the intrathecal space. Made of radiopaque silicone rubber, it is flexible and trimmable at the pump end of the placed catheter. The sutureless pump connector allows for connection to the pump at the catheter port.
The spinal end of the catheter has a closed tip and 6 holes for fluid delivery. To aid in catheter placement, it is marked at 1-cm increments between 12 cm and 81 cm. A guide wire in the lumen provides additional stiffness and catheter tip control during placement. The catheter can be positioned by direct percutaneous surgical procedures using the accessories provided in the catheter package.

Model 8731SC
Intrathecal Catheter Model 8731SC with Sutureless Connector
The Model 8731SC intrathecal catheter is a 2-piece catheter. The catheter body is made of an elastic and flexible radiopaque silicone rubber material, and includes trimmable segments.
The sutureless connector facilitates connection to the pump at the catheter port. The pre-attached strain-relief sleeve and connector pin facilitate connection to the spinal catheter segment.
The distal end of the spinal segment has a closed tip and 6 side holes for fluid delivery. The spinal segment is marked in 1-cm increments starting at the 14-cm mark to aid in catheter placement. A guide wire in the lumen provides additional stiffness and catheter tip control during placement. The catheter can be positioned by direct percutaneous surgical procedures using the accessories provided in the catheter package.
