Catheter Metal Female 12 Fr.

Clinical Application

This rigid metal female catheter is intended for urethral access and bladder drainage in female patients. At 12 Fr it provides a balance of lumen diameter for adequate flow while minimizing urethral trauma. It is commonly used in perioperative settings, emergency departments, and clinics for rapid bladder decompression, sterile urine sampling, and situations where flexible catheter insertion is difficult or unsuccessful.

Design & Configuration

The rigid straight profile offers precise control during insertion through the short female urethra, reducing the risk of kinking and allowing predictable placement into the bladder. The 12 Fr diameter limits urethral distension while maintaining effective drainage. Metal construction makes the instrument suitable for repeated sterilization and provides tactile feedback that can aid clinicians during challenging catheterizations.
