Description
The CURE CATH UNCOATED NELATON is a high-quality, sterile urinary catheter designed for safe and effective intermittent catheterization. Manufactured by Cure, this catheter is intended for single use, providing a reliable solution for temporary bladder drainage.
Key Features
- Design: The catheter features a Nelaton type, straight, rounded tip with fire-polished or smooth eyelets. This design ensures minimal trauma during insertion and removal, enhancing comfort and ease of drainage.
- Material: Made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), it offers an ideal balance of stiffness for easy insertion and pliability for comfort. It is free from natural rubber latex and DEHP, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
- Size Variability: Available in various color-coded sizes, such as black, green, and blue, for straightforward identification. Lengths are tailored for both male and female users, with sizes ranging from 8 French (8FR) to 18 French (18FR).
Intended Use
This catheter is suitable for:
- Relieving urinary retention
- Draining post-void residual urine
- Urethral stricture dilatation
- Obtaining sterile urine specimens
It is recommended to select the smallest appropriate French gauge to prevent urethral erosion or stricture formation. Proper use involves aseptic technique during insertion, and the catheter should be discarded after a single use.
Common Use Environments
The CURE CATH UNCOATED NELATON is ideal for use in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings by adequately trained individuals. Its packaging offers dual openings for increased ease of use, varying by packaging type, and is available individually or in boxes of 30.
Additional Features
The catheter's single-lumen design allows for unidirectional flow, and the funnel-shaped outer end facilitates easy handling and connection to a collection bag if needed. This product is GST free where applicable, providing an accessible and practical solution for those requiring intermittent catheterization.
