McKesson Select Sterile Irrigation Tray

SKU: 100122

60cc Piston Syringe  |  Thumb Ring Single-Hand Technique  |  Elongated Extra-Large Orifice Tip  |  Dual oz/cc Graduated Barrel  |  1200cc Basin  |  Underpad & Alcohol Prep Pad  |  Sterile  |  Single Use  |  Latex Free

A complete sterile irrigation tray for bladder and catheter irrigation. The 60cc piston syringe features a thumb ring for single-hand operation with minimal hand slippage, and an elongated extra-large orifice tip for more effective removal of clots and mucous shreds than standard-tip irrigation syringes. The barrel is graduated in both ounces and cubic centimeters for accurate volume tracking. Components are pre-assembled and packaged in a sequence designed for maximum procedural efficiency. Single use. Sterile. Latex free.

Kit Contents

• 60cc piston syringe with thumb ring — barrel-and-plunger design with a thumb ring on the barrel flange; enables controlled, uninterrupted single-hand pull-and-push irrigation technique
• Elongated tip with extra-large orifice — tip extends further than standard irrigation tips and has a wider opening for improved flow of viscous material; specifically designed for effective removal of blood clots and mucous shreds
• Dual oz/cc graduated barrel — raised, easy-to-read calibration marks in both ounces and cubic centimeters for accurate volume tracking during irrigation
• 1200cc basin/tray — large-capacity basin for holding irrigation solution and measuring drainage return
• 500cc plastic bottle — for irrigation solution preparation
• Underpad — absorbent bed protection placed beneath the patient during the procedure
• Alcohol prep pad — for catheter port preparation before connection
• Tip protector — maintains syringe tip sterility until moment of use

Key Features

• Piston (plunger) syringe design — more precise volume control than a bulb syringe; full 60cc is delivered in a controlled, measurable push stroke rather than a squeeze-and-release mechanism
• Thumb ring prevents slippage — the ring on the barrel flange allows the user to control the syringe with thumb and two fingers without the risk of the hand slipping during irrigation, reducing contamination risk
• Single-hand technique — draw up and instill fluid without requiring both hands; leaves the other hand free for catheter management or patient positioning
• Elongated tip with extra-large orifice — passes clots and mucous shreds that would clog a standard-diameter irrigation tip
• Sequential component layout in packaging — components arranged in use order for efficient setup without search or rearrangement at the bedside
• Sterile packaging | Single use | Latex free

Clinical FAQs

What is a piston syringe and how does it differ from the bulb syringe in the Covidien Kendall irrigation kit?

A piston (or plunger) syringe is the familiar barrel-and-plunger design: the user pulls the plunger back to draw fluid into the barrel, then pushes it forward to instill the fluid. The McKesson 60cc piston syringe adds a thumb ring — a flanged ring at the base of the barrel that allows the user to brace the index and middle fingers against the barrel while pushing or pulling the plunger with the thumb, providing a stable three-point grip that resists slippage during use. A bulb syringe (such as the one in the Covidien/Kendall 67800 kit) uses a rubber or PVC bulb: the user compresses the bulb to expel air, submerges the tip in the solution and releases the bulb to draw up fluid, then reinserts the tip into the catheter and compresses again to instill. Piston syringes generally provide more precise volume delivery — the graduated barrel shows exactly how much is being instilled or aspirated — and the single-hand thumb ring technique allows cleaner contamination control. Bulb syringes are simpler to operate with less hand coordination but offer less volume precision. The elongated extra-large orifice tip on the McKesson is a feature specific to this syringe — it allows passage of debris that would clog a standard-diameter tip.

When is the elongated extra-large orifice tip clinically important?

Standard irrigation syringe tips have a luer-slip or luer-lock fitting with a relatively small-diameter orifice — sufficient for instilling and aspirating clear or lightly cloudy urine-based solution, but prone to clogging when the bladder contains blood clots, mucous strands, or tissue fragments. Post-TURP bleeding, hematuria with clot formation, post-cystectomy, and post-bladder biopsy procedures are all clinical scenarios that can produce significant clot burden in the bladder. Attempting to aspirate a blood clot through a standard narrow-orifice tip creates tip occlusion, requiring repeated unclogging interruptions that extend the procedure and risk contamination each time the syringe is removed. The elongated tip with extra-large orifice on the McKesson syringe is specifically designed for this scenario: the wider channel accommodates clots and mucous shreds, allowing them to be aspirated into the barrel and expelled without tip occlusion. For uncomplicated routine irrigation without significant debris, a standard tip is adequate; the extra-large orifice is the appropriate specification when the clinical situation involves substantial clot or mucous burden.

How does this kit compare to the Covidien Kendall Bulb Irrigation Tray (SKU 67800) also in the MDS catalog?

Both are complete sterile irrigation kits including a 1200cc basin and 500cc container. The core difference is the syringe type: the Kendall kit uses a bulb syringe; this McKesson kit uses a piston syringe with thumb ring. The McKesson kit additionally includes an underpad — useful for bed protection during the procedure — while the Kendall kit includes antiseptic rather than an alcohol prep pad. The McKesson piston syringe's elongated extra-large orifice tip is a specific advantage for procedures involving clots or mucous debris. The Kendall bulb syringe is a simpler, familiar instrument that many clinicians and caregivers find easier to use for straightforward routine irrigation without debris. For post-surgical or acute-setting irrigations with anticipated clot burden, the McKesson piston kit is the better-specified product. For routine home maintenance irrigation under clinical direction, either format is appropriate based on the clinician's preference and protocol.
