• Compact sterile packaging for hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare.

Ingredients and Materials

Manufactured from medical-grade materials commonly used for Nelaton catheters, such as soft PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or medical-grade silicone depending on the lot. Features include a single lumen, a smooth rounded (Nelaton) closed tip with one or more lateral eyes for drainage, and radiopaque line in some variants for imaging visibility. Check product packaging for exact material specification and latex content.

How to Use

1. Wash hands and don sterile gloves. Ensure the catheter package is intact and not expired.
2. Clean the urethral meatus per local clinical protocol or clinician instructions.
3. Lubricate the catheter tip if not pre-lubricated. Gently insert the Nelaton catheter into the urethra until urine begins to flow.
4. Allow urine to drain into an appropriate container or collection system. When flow stops, slowly withdraw the catheter.
5. Discard the catheter after single use following local clinical waste guidelines. Do not reuse.

Always follow instructions provided with the product and the guidance of a healthcare professional. Training is recommended for self-catheterization.

Who It’s For

Suitable for healthcare professionals, clinicians, nurses, and trained patients requiring intermittent catheterization or short-term urethral drainage. Common uses include perioperative bladder drainage, intermittent catheterization for urinary retention or neurogenic bladder management, and point-of-care bladder emptying in outpatient or home-care settings.
