How to Use
Intended for intermittent urethral catheterisation or short‑term bladder drainage by trained healthcare personnel or by patients who have been instructed in self‑catheterisation:
- Wash hands and prepare a clean field. Open sterile packaging without contaminating the catheter.
- Lubricate catheter tip with sterile water‑soluble lubricant if required (follow local protocol).
- Gently insert the catheter into the urethra until urine flows. For male patients the 40cm length accommodates urethral distance.
- Allow urine to drain into a sterile container. For intermittent catheterisation, withdraw catheter once drainage is complete.
- Dispose of the catheter immediately after single use according to local biohazard regulations.
Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions or facility protocol for catheterisation technique and infection prevention.
Who It's For
Suitable for adults requiring intermittent urethral catheterisation or short‑term bladder drainage including patients with urinary retention, post‑operative bladder management, spinal cord injury, neurogenic bladder or those using intermittent self‑catheterisation. Appropriate for hospitals, outpatient clinics, long‑term care and home healthcare. Not intended for long‑term indwelling use.
Caution & Storage
Caution: For single use only. Do not reuse or resterilise. Do not use if package is damaged or seal is broken. Use only under the supervision or instruction of a qualified healthcare professional. Observe universal precautions to reduce infection risk. If patients experience pain, bleeding, resistance on insertion, or other complications, stop and consult a clinician immediately.
