This sterile latex urinary catheter is available in 1-way, 2-way and 3-way versions. The 1-way catheter has a single drainage lumen and is used for intermittent catheterisation and short-term drainage. The 2-way catheter adds a balloon inflation lumen for indwelling drainage, and the 3-way catheter adds a third lumen for irrigation, allowing bladder washout or continuous bladder irrigation without disconnecting the drainage system.

Single use only. Do not reuse or resterilize.
Do not use if the package is damaged or opened.
For 2-way and 3-way catheters: inflate the retention balloon with sterile water only. Do not use saline, as crystallisation can prevent the balloon from deflating.
Do not overinflate the balloon beyond the stated volume.
Insert only by trained clinical personnel using aseptic technique.
Maintain a closed drainage system and position the drainage bag below the level of the bladder.
Secure an indwelling catheter to prevent traction and accidental displacement.
Monitor for signs of catheter-associated urinary tract infection and replace according to your facility's protocol.
