On Urological Catheters

There are a lot of options in regards to urological catheters. That includes catheter trays, like the Touchless Intermittent Catheter Kit.

External Latex catheters, like the Gizmo Male External Catheter. That's a two-piece catheter system. The system includes male external catheter, with single-sided adhesive strip. Pure, soft, natural, latex-reinforced funnel end. Adhesive does not come in contact with skin. And it's twist-proof. So, yay!

There are also External Nonlatex Catheters, like the InView Special External Catheter, or the Conveen Security Self-sealing Male External Catheters, the Freedom Clear Catheter, and more.

External reusable catheters, like the McGuire Male Urinal, also have their place.

A Foley catheter is a thin, sterile tube inserted into your bladder to drain urine. Because it can be left in place in the bladder for a period of time, it is also called an indwelling catheter. It is held in place with a balloon at the end, which is filled with sterile water to hold it in place. The urine drains into a bag and can then be taken from an outlet device to be drained. Laboratory tests can be conducted on your urine to look for infection, blood, muscle breakdown, crystals, electrolytes, and kidney function. The procedure to insert a catheter is called catheterization.

A Foley catheter is used with many disorders, procedures, or problems such as these:

Retention of urine leading to urinary hesitancy, straining to urinate, decrease in size and force of the urinary stream, interruption of urinary stream, and sensation of incomplete emptying. Obstruction of the urethra by an anatomical condition that makes it difficult for you to urinate: prostate hypertrophy, prostate cancer, or narrowing of the urethra. Urine output monitoring in a critically ill or injured person. Collection of a sterile urine specimen for diagnostic purposes. Nerve-related bladder dysfunction, such as after spinal trauma (A catheter can be inserted regularly to assist with urination.) Also used for imaging study of the lower urinary tracts and after surgery.

We also carry intermittent catheters and touchless catheters. So, please keep me employed and let me feed my family and, if you need any of these things, come buy them from my company. Thanks!
