Clinical Application
Designed for transurethral access in prostate-related urologic care, this 10 Fr catheter is used to establish or maintain bladder drainage, provide irrigation access, and manage urinary retention associated with prostate procedures. Common clinical uses include postoperative bladder management following endoscopic prostate procedures and short-term catheterization where a smaller-caliber lumen is indicated.
Design & Configuration
The small 10 Fr caliber balances lumen patency with a reduced external diameter to minimize urethral trauma and patient discomfort. Prostate catheters are typically configured to negotiate the prostatic urethra with a flexible shaft and a tapered, atraumatic tip to facilitate smooth transurethral insertion. The catheter's geometry and flexibility are important for secure placement across the prostatic segment while maintaining adequate drainage and irrigation capability.
