Urethral Catheter Straight Tip Hydrophilic Coated PVC 14 Fr. 6 Inch, 30/BX

This urethral catheter is a straight tip, hydrophilic coated PVC intermittent catheter in a 14 Fr., 6 inch format.

Each catheter is individually packaged for single sterile use, with polished staggered eyelets and a ridged funnel end to support handling and drainage.
