Ingredients and Materials
Made from medical-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC), latex-free and biocompatible. Each catheter is EO (ethylene oxide) sterilized and packaged single-use. The Nelaton tip is smooth and rounded to minimise urethral trauma. Materials are selected for flexibility, kink-resistance and patient comfort in intermittent catheterisation.
How to Use
Use this sterile Nelaton catheter for intermittent catheterisation following clinical guidance or a healthcare professional's instructions. General steps: maintain aseptic technique, open the sterile pack carefully, apply appropriate sterile lubricant to the tip, gently insert the catheter until urine begins to flow, advance slightly to ensure proper placement, allow bladder to drain completely, then slowly withdraw and dispose of the catheter in accordance with local medical waste regulations. Consult a clinician for training on technique, insertion depth and frequency.
Who It’s For
Suitable for adults requiring intermittent urinary catheterisation: patients with urinary retention, neurogenic bladder, post-operative bladder drainage, mobility limitations, or those managing long-term intermittent self-catheterisation under clinical advice. Recommended when an 8 French calibre and 400 mm length meet clinical needs.
