Clinical Application
Used to gain transurethral access to the bladder for urinary drainage and measurement of urine output in adult male patients. The 18 French lumen is commonly selected when higher flow rates are required for effective drainage or intermittent irrigation during urological procedures and perioperative management. Appropriate for use in operating rooms, procedure suites, and inpatient settings where standard male catheterization is indicated.
Design & Configuration
The 28 cm length corresponds to typical adult male urethral anatomy, providing sufficient reach to reliably access the bladder without excessive external tubing. The larger 18 French diameter increases lumen capacity to facilitate drainage and passage of small-bore irrigation or drainage debris when clinically necessary. The Coxeter pattern denotes a conventional male catheter geometry optimized for atraumatic passage and secure placement during short-term use.
