Nelaton catheter - female, urological, various sizes

A Nelaton catheter is a type of urological catheter specifically designed for use in female patients. It is a straight, flexible tube that is inserted into the bladder to drain urine. Nelaton catheters are commonly used in medical settings for short-term bladder drainage or to relieve urinary retention. The catheter has a rounded tip that helps to minimize discomfort and tissue trauma during insertion, and it is available in various sizes to accommodate different patient needs. Nelaton catheters are usually made of flexible and non-irritating materials, such as PVC or silicone, and are designed for single use to reduce the risk of infection. Proper insertion techniques and strict adherence to infection control protocols are important in the use of Nelaton catheters to ensure patient safety and comfort.
