Areas of application and typical application situations
Bladder catheters are used in urinary diversion, bladder emptying and in diagnostic measures to measure urine excretion. Typical application situations include short-term diversions after procedures, continuous drainage with limited mobility and occasional intermittent catheterizations for emptying. The selection of the appropriate catheter type depends on the indication, length of stay and individual hygienic requirements.
Types of products in the category
The range includes different designs and materials that cover different application requirements:
- Foley or indwelling catheter (balloon catheter) in different balloon volumes
- Disposable catheters / intermittent catheters (Nelaton, hydrophilic coated)
- Silicone and latex catheters for different compatibility
- Special catheter with integrated urinary bag connection or protected tips
- Accessories such as urinary bags, extension tubes, fixation materials and disinfection products
Materials, properties and usage advantages
The choice of material influences comfort, biocompatibility and runtime. Silicone catheters offer high tolerability for longer periods of time, hydrophilically coated disposable catheters reduce friction during use, and clear material labels make the right selection easier. Key features include atraumatic tip, reliable balloon function, secure closures and compatible connection standards for urinary bags.
Quality, safety and organizational aspects
Sterile handling, suitable packaging units and easily understandable product information are important for safe and hygienic processes. The products support efficient work processes through standardized connections, CE-marked materials and clear information about single or multiple use. Documentation and traceability facilitate organizational processes in routine operations.
