Catheter Metal Female 8 Fr.

Clinical Application

Small-bore metal catheter designed for procedures that require a durable, rigid lumen with a female-connector interface. An 8 French diameter is commonly selected when clinicians need a narrow-caliber channel for drainage, irrigation, specimen collection, or temporary access in settings such as urology, minor operative procedures, interventional suites, and specialty clinic procedures. The female connector allows secure attachment to compatible male fittings such as syringes, drainage tubing, or stopcocks for controlled instillation or aspiration.

Design & Configuration

The metal construction provides rigidity and torsional control compared with soft catheters, which aids ease of placement through short, constrained passages and resists kinking during manipulation. The female connector configuration facilitates a leak-resistant interface with male fittings and standard ancillary devices, improving workflow when connecting syringes, drainage lines, or accessory adapters. The simple straight profile (where applicable) minimizes lumen obstruction and supports reliable fluid flow through an 8 Fr bore.

Instrument Specifications

• Size: 8 Fr
• Intended uses: drainage, irrigation, specimen collection, temporary lumen access
• Connector: female interface for attachment to compatible male fittings
• Construction: metal, reusable design

Material & Construction

Constructed from metal (stainless steel) to provide durability, resistance to kinking, and consistent lumen patency during placement and manipulation. The robust construction supports reprocessing and repeated clinical use when handled according to institutional reprocessing protocols. The smooth internal lumen and polished external finish aid cleaning and reduce retention of biological material after use.

Quality & Compliance

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