E>G: lighthouse tip (catheter)

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know the German terms for:

" lighthouse tip " and " drainage basket " in the following sentence?

The distal drainage section is constructed as a lighthouse tip,

which in combination with the unique mid section drainage basket

promotes maximum drainage.

Context is a dual stage venous return catheter, used for

extracorporeal blood circulation.

A literal translation " Leuchtturmspitze " does not bring up any hits

in Google in this context.

Thanks in advance.

A belated answer....

According to a representative from Stockert, in general,

" drainage basket " can be translated as " Auffanggefäß "

(better than the literal translation " Auffangkorb " .
