Urethral Catheter Coude Tip Hydrophilic Coated PVC 14 Fr. 16 Inch, 30/BX

This urethral catheter is a coude tip hydrophilic coated PVC intermittent catheter in 14 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, including users who need help navigating tight strictures or obstruction. The hydrophilic coating activates with the included sterile water packet, and each catheter is individually packaged for single, sterile use.
