Urethral Cure Catheter™ 14Fr Straight Tip Uncoated Introduction

The Urethral Cure Catheter™ 14Fr Straight Tip Uncoated Intermittent catheterization is the periodic emptying of the bladder by the insertion of a hollowplastic tube (catheter) into the urethra, past the sphincter muscles and into the bladder. Urine then passes out of the bladder through the catheter.

Medical conditions that often require intermittent catheterization include spinal cord injuries, spina bifida and multiple sclerosis, to name a few. Must be done at regular intervals each day to keep the bladder healthy.
