(30/Box), Sterile Product Usage: The catheter is an all silicone, single lumen, drainage tube with drainage eyes at the proximal end and a tapered funnel at the distal end.

It is packaged with a water sachet that is manually burst to hydrate the catheter coating at time of use. The catheters are packaged in a film-to-film pouch and are sterilized by electron beam irradiation and are distributed as a single use device. The catheter is intended for urinary bladder drainage in adult males and females requiring catheterization for management of incontinence, voiding dysfunction and surgical procedures. Efficacy of the catheter in preventing urinary tract infection during intermittent use has not been established.
