Catheter Metal Male 8 Fr.

Clinical Application

Designed for urethral access in male patients, this rigid metal catheter provides a durable option for short-term drainage, irrigation, diagnostic instillation of contrast, and guidance during urologic procedures. The 8 Fr caliber offers a small-diameter option suited to patients with narrow urethras, pediatric use, or situations requiring a low-profile lumen for catheter-assisted instrument or guidewire passage.

Design & Configuration

The metal male configuration provides a straight/semirigid shaft sized and shaped to accommodate the length and course of the male urethra while maintaining column strength for controlled insertion and manipulation. A slim 8 Fr bore reduces urethral trauma risk in narrow channels and facilitates precise placement. The reusable metal construction preserves lumen patency and resists kinking compared with soft catheters, which can be advantageous when repeated instrumentation or multiple exchanges are required.
