Ingredients and Materials
This Akacia Nelaton catheter is manufactured from medical-grade PVC with a smooth, silicone-like coating for reduced friction during insertion. The device features a closed rounded tip and one drainage eyelet. The product is sterile, latex-free, single-use, 12Fr (approx. 4.0 mm diameter) and 40 cm in length, supplied in an individual sterile pack suitable for urology procedures and intermittent catheterisation.
How to Use
- Wash hands thoroughly and prepare a clean field. Open the sterile pack aseptically.
- Use a water-based lubricant compatible with the catheter material. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
- Gently insert the rounded tip into the urethra until urine begins to flow. For women, shorter insertion may be required; for men, 40 cm length accommodates urethral length.
- Allow urine to drain fully, then slowly withdraw the catheter. Dispose of the catheter as a single-use medical waste item.
- Follow local clinical guidance and consult a healthcare professional for technique training and sterile procedure requirements.
