German to English Medical Medical: Instruments Patient information
Sehr geehrte Patientin, sehr geehrter Patient,

Sie wurden von Ihrem Arzt Professor Dr.med. __________________________darum gebeten, an einer klinischen Studie teilzunehmen, da ihr Arzt festegestellt hat, dass eine der Bandscheiben in Ihrem unteren Rücken degeneriert ist. Unter einer degenerierten Bandscheibe ist zu verstehen, dass der Bereich zwischen zwei Wirbeln, nämlich die Bandscheibe, so stark geschädigt ist, dass Sie an Rückenschmerzen leiden. Der Zweck dieser Forschungsarbeit ist es, die Wertbestimmung der endoskopischen Einbringung des CE genehmigten DASCOR - Bandscheibenkernersatz und des DASCOR – ***Katheterdrahtschneiders***.

Catheter cutter gets some hits, but a Katheter***draht***schneider suggests something more specific to me (no hit even for the German term, though).

TIA for your help.

cutter for the DASCOR catheter wire

In the reference it says that the catheter is cut off at the edge of the implant. So some of it remains in the patient's body. I presume that the outside of the catheter is made of synthetic material and that the wire runs inside the tube.

agree Alan Wiser, MD : Yes. Emphasis on the cutter for the guidewire for the catheter!

Thanks, Alan
neutral SJLD : have a look at the procedure animation on the website - it shows quite clearly the tool that snips off the whole catheter flush with the implant - not just the wire

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks, Gudrun, and SJLD. I had a look at the procedure animation, and to me it seems to show that (at around 0:50 of the movie) the exterior part or guidewire of the catheter is cut off while the remaining interior part is removed differently later on."

Have a look here - the whole procedure using the DASCOR system is explained:

Good animated explanation (procedure animation) on the manufacturer's website - but they don't say what the cutting tool is called.
