McKesson Intermittent Urethral Catheter - Sterile, Straight Tip, Polished Staggered Eyelets, Luer End

Premium Intermittent Urethral Catheter for Safe, Effective Bladder Drainage

The McKesson Intermittent Urethral Catheter is a high-quality, sterile medical device engineered for individuals who require reliable bladder catheterization due to urinary retention, incomplete bladder emptying, or chronic bladder dysfunction. Manufactured from medical-grade clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC), this non-coated catheter delivers exceptional performance for quick, safe, and comfortable self-catheterization procedures in home care, clinical, and institutional settings.

Advanced Design Features for Patient Safety & Comfort

• Polished Staggered Eyelets: Strategically positioned drainage eyes are precision-polished to minimize urethral trauma during insertion and removal, reducing tissue irritation and lowering the risk of introducing bacteria into the bladder
• Maximum Urine Flow: Staggered eye configuration ensures optimal drainage efficiency, allowing complete bladder emptying even when one or more eyes become temporarily blocked by bladder wall contact
• Straight Tip Design: Ideal for patients with chronic bladder conditions who perform self-catheterization independently, offering straightforward insertion without anatomical navigation challenges
• Open Luer-End Connection: Universal luer-compatible design allows secure attachment to drainage bags, specimen collection containers, or syringes for versatile clinical applications
• Color-Coded French Sizing: Easy visual identification system helps patients and caregivers quickly select the correct catheter size, reducing selection errors and improving procedural efficiency
• Clear PVC Construction: Transparent material allows visual confirmation of urine flow and color, enabling early detection of potential urinary tract issues or complications

Clinical Applications & Indications

This intermittent catheter is medically indicated for a comprehensive range of urological conditions and diagnostic procedures:

• Urinary Retention Management: For individuals unable to initiate or maintain natural urine flow due to neurological conditions, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or post-surgical complications
• Residual Urine Drainage: Addresses significant post-void residual volumes following incomplete natural bladder-voiding episodes
• Chronic Bladder Dysfunction: Supports patients with long-term bladder control issues who require regular intermittent catheterization schedules
• Urine Specimen Collection: Provides sterile urine samples for hospital laboratory analysis, culture and sensitivity testing, or diagnostic urinalysis
• Post-Operative Care: Assists with bladder management following urological, gynecological, or pelvic surgical procedures
• Bladder Training Programs: Supports rehabilitation protocols designed to restore natural bladder function over time
