Clinical Application
Designed for transurethral catheterization in male patients, this Coxeter prostate catheter is intended to provide large-bore bladder drainage and facilitate continuous or intermittent irrigation following prostate procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The 20 Fr diameter is selected where higher drainage capacity is required—commonly for clot-prone hematuria, postoperative irrigation, or when more efficient evacuation of debris is needed.
Design & Configuration
The catheter's Coxeter tip geometry is optimized to negotiate the prostatic urethra with reduced trauma and improved passage past obstructive prostatic tissue. The 20 Fr lumen provides increased flow for manual or continuous bladder irrigation and reduces the risk of clogging by blood clots and tissue fragments. A smooth, tapered insertion profile helps minimize urethral irritation during placement and exchange.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Prostate catheter
- Pattern / model: Coxeter
- Size: 20 Fr
- Tip / insertion profile: Prostate-directed tip geometry for negotiation of enlarged prostatic urethra
- Typical surgical use: Postoperative urinary drainage and irrigation after prostate surgery (e.g., TURP); management of clot retention
Material & Construction
The catheter is configured as a large-bore drainage device with a single drainage lumen and a tip shaped to facilitate atraumatic passage through the prostatic urethra. The 20 Fr diameter supports effective irrigation flow rates and reduces the likelihood of lumen occlusion during postoperative management.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
