McKesson Urethral Catheter Coude Tip Hydrophilic Coated PVC 12 Fr. 16 Inch, 30/BX

Urethral Catheter Coude Tip Hydrophilic Coated PVC 12 Fr. 16 Inch, 30/BX

This urethral catheter is a hydrophilic coated PVC coude tip intermittent catheter in 12 Fr. and 16 inch length. It is intended for intermittent catheterization of the urethra and may be a practical choice for adults who need self-catheterization, especially when a curved tip can help navigate tight strictures or obstruction. Each catheter is sterile, individually packaged for single use, and activates with the included sterile water packet in about 30 seconds.
