BLUDIGO (indigotindisulfonate sodium)
Bludigo is a diagnostic dye used to help surgeons check the integrity of the ureters in adult patients. It is typically administered following various urological or gynecological surgeries, including open, robotic, and endoscopic procedures. By providing a clear visual aid during a cystoscopic assessment, it helps medical professionals confirm that the ureters are intact after the operation.
How BLUDIGO Works
This drug works by acting as a deep blue dye that the kidneys filter and excrete through tubular secretion. Once excreted, the concentrated color enhances the visibility of the ureteral orifices, allowing for a clearer assessment of the urinary tract's structure.
