Key Features
8.0 French Diameter: The largest standard gauge in the UC series, providing maximum flow rates for drainage or quick urine specimen collection.
40 cm Length: A standard length that ensures it can reach the bladder of a pediatric patient while allowing for secure external anchoring.
100% Medical-Grade Silicone: This material is significantly softer and more flexible than standard PVC or latex catheters, which is critical for reducing the risk of urethral irritation and trauma in pediatric patients.
Non-Foley Design: This is a straight catheter with no internal balloon. It is intended for short-term use, such as intermittent catheterization or collecting sterile urine samples.
Open Distal End: Designed to facilitate complete and rapid drainage, helping to minimize the risk of urinary tract infections.
