Catheter Metal Female 6 FG. 15cm

Clinical Application

Provides a small-bore option for transurethral access in female patients who require intermittent or short-term catheterization. The 6 FG diameter is selected where minimal-caliber access is needed—commonly in neonatal and pediatric care, urology clinics managing strictures or post-operative protocols, and situations requiring atraumatic placement for fragile urethral mucosa. Suitable for sterile urine collection, diagnostic sampling, and short-duration bladder drainage where a metal reusable catheter is preferred.

Design & Configuration

The short 15 cm length and female-specific configuration limit unnecessary external tubing while allowing an appropriate working length for secure handling and fixation. Metal construction provides semi-rigid support for controlled insertion and tactile feedback, reducing the likelihood of kinking compared with soft catheters. The small 6 FG bore minimizes urethral stretching and is chosen when a low-profile, less traumatic lumen is clinically indicated.

Instrument Specifications

• Size: 6 FG (6 French)
• Length: 15 cm
• Intended anatomy: Female urethral catheterization
• Construction: Metal (stainless steel)
• Reusable and sterilizable for reprocessing per facility protocol

Material & Construction

Fabricated from corrosion-resistant metal commonly supplied as medical-grade stainless steel to withstand repeated reprocessing. Precision finishing and a smooth, atraumatic tip profile help reduce mucosal irritation during insertion and removal. The semi-rigid metal body delivers reliable lumen patency and resistance to kinking during routine clinical use.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
