Product type
Urinary catheters are flexible tubes used to drain urine from the bladder when a patient is unable to do so naturally. They are typically made from materials such as latex, silicone, or PVC, which provide biocompatibility and flexibility. These devices are essential in various medical settings, including hospitals and long-term care facilities, for both temporary and permanent urinary management.

| Sizes | French sizes ranging from 6Fr to 24Fr |
| Type | Intermittent, indwelling (Foley), or suprapubic |

When choosing a urinary catheter, consider the type required based on the patient's needs, such as intermittent or indwelling. Specify the material preference, as some patients may have sensitivities to latex. Additionally, provide information on the required size and length, as well as any specific features like balloon size for indwelling catheters. It's also important to consider the quantity needed for effective management.
