Catheter Metal Male 22 Fr.

Clinical Application

Provides a rigid, large-bore option for male urethral catheterization when a stable, non-kinking catheter is required. The 22 Fr diameter is commonly used for drainage and irrigation in urology, including management of hematuria, bladder irrigation, postoperative drainage after urologic procedures, and controlled catheter exchanges in the operating room or procedure suite. The rigid metal construction offers improved directional control and tactile feedback compared with flexible catheters, which can aid placement in challenging anatomy or when guiding other instruments.

Design & Configuration

Rigid metal construction delivers a straight, stable profile that resists kinking and allows precise manipulation during insertion and instrument exchange. The larger 22 Fr bore facilitates high-flow drainage and irrigation, making it suitable for evacuating blood, debris, or irrigant during perioperative care. A polished surface reduces friction on insertion and simplifies cleaning between uses. The clinical value of a metal male catheter lies in its durability, predictable stiffness, and ease of control in the hands of urology teams.
