Akacia Nelaton Catheter 12Fr (12fg) — 40cm Urethral, 1 Unit

The Akacia Nelaton Catheter 12Fr (12fg) 40cm is a sterile, single-use urethral catheter designed for safe, atraumatic intermittent catheterisation and transient bladder drainage. Made from smooth medical-grade material with a rounded tip and drainage eyelet, this Nelaton tube ensures gentle insertion and reliable urine flow for clinical and home urology care.

Key Benefits

  • Optimised 12Fr (12fg) diameter for common intermittent catheterisation needs
  • 40cm length suitable for male urethral access and many clinical situations
  • Sterile, single-use design reduces infection risk and cross-contamination
  • Smooth, rounded tip and polished surface for atraumatic insertion
  • Individually packaged for hospital, clinic, and home urology use
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
  1. Wash hands thoroughly and prepare a clean field. Open the sterile pack aseptically.
  2. Use a water-based lubricant compatible with the catheter material. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
  3. 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.
  4. Allow urine to drain fully, then slowly withdraw the catheter. Dispose of the catheter as a single-use medical waste item.
  5. Follow local clinical guidance and consult a healthcare professional for technique training and sterile procedure requirements.
Who It’s For

This product is intended for patients requiring intermittent catheterisation or temporary bladder drainage, including post-operative care, urinary retention management, and clinical or home urology use under professional guidance. Suitable for adult male patients or any patient where a 12Fr, 40 cm Nelaton catheter is clinically indicated. Healthcare professionals, nurses, and trained caregivers commonly use this device.

Caution & Storage

Caution: For single use only. Do not resterilise or reuse. Inspect packaging for damage before use; do not use if sterile seal is broken. If resistance, pain, bleeding, or unexpected symptoms occur during insertion, stop and seek medical assistance. Not intended for long-term indwelling use. Keep out of reach of children.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals. Maintain original packaging until use to preserve sterility.
