Akacia Nelaton Catheter 16Fr (16FG) — 400mm Urethral Catheter — 1 Unit

The Akacia Nelaton Catheter 16Fr (16FG) 400mm is a sterile, single-use urethral catheter designed for safe and comfortable intermittent catheterization and bladder drainage. Engineered for smooth insertion with a soft Nelaton tip and polished eyelet, this 400mm length is suitable for male urethral catheterization and clinical applications requiring reliable urinary evacuation.

Key Benefits

  • Sterile, single-use design reduces infection risk and ensures patient safety.
  • Soft rounded Nelaton tip offers gentle, low-trauma insertion for improved comfort.
  • 16Fr (16FG) gauge delivers efficient urine flow while maintaining patient comfort.
  • 400mm length suitable for male catheterization and clinical procedures.
  • Medical-grade, latex-free construction compatible with standard care protocols.
Ingredients and Materials

Manufactured from medical-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC), latex-free and biocompatible. Sterile-packed for single use. Features a smooth polished drainage eyelet and a rounded Nelaton tip. Supplied with a water-based sterile lubricant coating or packaged pouch (dependent on batch) for easier insertion.

How to Use
  1. Wash hands thoroughly and prepare a clean, sterile field. Wear sterile gloves if available.
  2. Open the sterile package without contaminating the catheter. Apply additional sterile water‑based lubricant if required (do not use oil-based lubricants).
  3. Gently insert the Nelaton catheter into the urethra until urine begins to flow. Advance slightly to ensure proper placement.
  4. Collect urine or allow drainage into a sterile container. Once drainage is complete, slowly withdraw the catheter.
  5. Dispose of the catheter as clinical waste. Do not reuse—this product is single-use sterile.
  6. If you encounter resistance, pain, or bleeding, stop immediately and seek medical advice.
Who It’s For

Designed for patients and healthcare professionals requiring reliable urethral catheterization: postoperative patients, individuals with urinary retention, neurogenic bladder, bladder drainage needs, and clinical use in hospitals, clinics or home care settings. Suitable for adult male catheterization given the 400mm length and 16Fr gauge.

Caution & Storage

Caution: For single use only. Do not use if the sterile package is damaged or opened. Reusing catheters may increase the risk of urinary tract infection. Consult a healthcare professional for appropriate catheter size and technique. If you experience persistent pain, bleeding, fever or inability to pass the catheter, seek medical attention immediately.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep in original packaging until use. Dispose of used catheters according to local clinical waste regulations.
