14Fr Medical Sterile Urethral PVC Intermittent Catheter

Product Overview

14Fr Medical Sterile Urethral PVC Intermittent Catheter is a single‑lumen balloon‑free Nelaton‑type catheter for single‑use intermittent bladder emptying. 14Fr is a widely‑adopted adult clinical size, balancing sufficient drainage flow and urethral comfort. It is commonly used in urology wards, rehabilitation departments and home‑based clean intermittent self‑catheterization.

Manufactured from medical‑grade PVC and EO‑sterilized in individual sterile paper‑plastic pouch. The distal tip is heat‑polished with smooth drainage eyes to minimize urethral mucosal trauma. Funnel connector fits urine collection bags. Full‑length radiopaque stripe enables X‑ray positioning. OEM private‑label service is available for hospitals and international distributors. This catheter shall be removed right after drainage and must not be confused with indwelling Foley catheter.

Specification Table

Material Comparison: PVC / Latex / Silicone

PVC (this product): Cost‑effective, transparent, proper stiffness for easy insertion. Ideal for short‑term intermittent catheterization. Not for long‑term indwelling. DEHP‑Free option for EU markets.

Natural Latex: Soft and low‑cost, but high latex‑allergy risk. Mostly applied for Foley indwelling catheters, not first choice for intermittent use.

Silicone: Excellent biocompatibility with minimal irritation. Softer shaft brings higher insertion difficulty for intermittent catheterization, higher cost, mainly for long‑term indwelling.

Applications: Intermittent bladder decompression, urine retention relief, sterile urine sample collection, auxiliary urological diagnostic procedures. Target Users: Adult patients with dysuria or neurogenic bladder requiring intermittent self‑catheterization; users in hospital wards, rehabilitation centers and home‑care settings. Not suitable for: Long‑term indwelling inside bladder; contraindicated for patients with severe PVC hypersensitivity.
