Description

The Nelaton Catheter Male is a specialized medical device designed for intermittent urethral catheterization in male patients. Its primary function is to provide temporary urinary drainage, making it essential for situations such as relieving urinary retention, collecting sterile urine specimens, and facilitating certain diagnostic or therapeutic procedures that require access to the bladder.

Key Features

  • Design: This catheter features a straight, single-lumen structure with a rounded, closed distal tip. It includes lateral drainage eyes to ensure efficient urine flow and smooth insertion, minimizing trauma.
  • Material: Constructed from medical-grade polyvinylchloride (PVC), the catheter is DEHP-free, non-toxic, and biocompatible, ensuring it is non-irritant and safe for use.
  • Length: Typically measures 40 cm, suitable for adult males, with other lengths available for pediatric and neonatal use.
  • Size Identification: Equipped with a color-coded funnel connector for easy size recognition, with sizes ranging from 6Fr to 24Fr.
  • Insertion Aids: May include a blue holding sleeve to maintain aseptic technique by preventing direct hand contact.

Sterility and Packaging

Each catheter is sterilized using ethylene oxide (EO) and individually wrapped, emphasizing its single-use design. The transparent material of the catheter allows for easy visualization during use, enhancing its practicality.

Intended Use

The catheter is intended for short-term use only and is not suitable for indwelling catheterization. It is commonly used in environments such as hospitals, clinics, emergency departments, and home care settings. Key indications include:

  • Intermittent bladder catheterization for urinary retention and bladder decompression
  • Post-surgical drainage
  • Urethral stricture dilatation
  • Administration of intravesical medications

Instructions for Use

To ensure safe and effective use, the following steps are recommended:

  1. Employ aseptic technique throughout the procedure.
  2. Apply a sterile, water-based lubricant to the distal tip before insertion.
  3. Gently insert the catheter into the urethra until urine begins to flow.
  4. Drain urine into an appropriate receptacle.
  5. After use, remove the catheter and dispose of it safely.

Precautions

  • Select the smallest appropriate French size to minimize trauma.
  • Avoid using force during insertion; if resistance is encountered, reassess the situation.
  • Monitor for potential complications such as infection, blockage, or leakage.
  • Do not use the catheter if the packaging is damaged or if contamination is suspected.

Storage

Store the catheter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Adhering to these guidelines helps maintain the catheter's integrity and ensures optimal performance.

Safety and Hygiene

The Nelaton Catheter Male is intended for single use only. Reusing or attempting to re-sterilize the catheter is not recommended. In case of contamination during handling, a new catheter should be used. Proper documentation and disposal should follow local protocols to maintain safety and hygiene standards.
