Catheter Metal Male 12 Fr.

Clinical Application

Provides a reliable conduit for urinary drainage and access in male patients where a durable, rigid catheter is indicated. Commonly used in the operating room and procedure suites for intraoperative bladder drainage, short-term urologic procedures, cystoscopic guidance, or when a firm shaft is preferred to traverse urethral resistance. The 12 Fr diameter is suitable for situations requiring a smaller-caliber catheter while maintaining structural rigidity for controlled placement.

Design & Configuration

The rigid metal shaft gives the operator enhanced tactile feedback and resistance to kinking compared with flexible catheters, improving control during insertion and positioning. A smooth, polished external surface reduces mucosal friction and helps minimize insertion trauma. The metal construction also permits precise manipulation in confined or surgically altered anatomy where flexible tubing may buckle or be difficult to advance.
