1. Wet the distal portion of the ReSolve Locking Drainage
catheter prior to use with sterile water or saline. Keep the
distal portion of the catheter wet during placement.

to straighten curve prior to placing metal stiffening cannula
into the catheter. Place the metal stiffening cannula into
the catheter and tighten the Luer lock fittings. See Figure 1.
Figure 1
3. Remove the paper spacer from the trocar stylette.
Advance the trocar stylette through the metal stiffening
cannula and tighten the Luer lock fittings. See Figure 2.
Figure 2
4. Remove pigtail straightener from catheter prior to
insertion.
5. Place the catheter/cannula/trocar assembly into the fluid
collection site using standard insertion technique.
Note: Placement should be confirmed with diagnostic
imaging.
6. After placement is confirmed, remove the trocar stylette
and stiffening cannula.
7. To engage the suture locking mechanism: Pull the suture
until desired pigtail is formed. Rotate the suture locking
