Product Description
The Vetnordic Sterile Cat Urinary Catheter (3 Fr) is an ultra-thin and atraumatic catheter solution designed for the narrowest and most delicate feline urethras encountered by veterinarians. Its 3 Fr (1.0 mm) thickness makes it one of the thinnest catheters on the market, making it ideal for use in young cats or those with urethral constrictions due to severe edema.
To avoid damaging the cat's sensitive urethra, the catheter is made of soft polyethylene, with a rounded tip and carefully polished edges; this feature minimizes tissue trauma. The mandrel (stillet) inside the catheter provides the veterinarian with the necessary guidance and rigidity during insertion, while ensuring the soft catheter remains securely in place after removal in the correct position. The colored Luer Lock cap on the catheter guarantees controlled urine flow. The single-use sterile packaging minimizes the risk of infection with each application.
Advantages
Ultra-Thin and Atraumatic: Thanks to its 3 Fr thickness and special rounded tip design, it provides minimally invasive placement and tissue safety even in the narrowest urethral passages. Easy and Controlled Placement: The mandrel (stilet) ensures the catheter advances in the correct direction without kinking, even in challenging catheterization situations. Safe Flow Management: The Luer Lock cap allows for controlled urine collection or lavage after catheterization. High Hygiene Standards: Its sterile and single-use structure eliminates the risk of cross-contamination and infection.
Areas of Use
Urethral Obstruction Relief: Especially in young and small breed male cats or in narrowed urethral passages, for clearing obstructions and performing lavage procedures. Urine Sampling: Diagnostic procedures requiring sterile urine sample collection. Bladder Drainage: Emptying the bladder during surgery or certain treatment processes.
