Suprapubic (SP) Catheter – Long-Term Urinary Drainage Solution (5 Pcs)

Product Information:

• Description: A suprapubic (SP) catheter is a medical device used to drain urine from the bladder when normal urination is not possible. Unlike urethral catheters, which are inserted through the urethra, suprapubic catheters are placed directly into the bladder through a small incision in the lower abdomen, just above the pubic bone. This method is often chosen for long-term bladder management to reduce the risk of infection and provide greater comfort.

• Features:

  • Insertion Site: Placed through a small abdominal incision above the pubic bone.
  • Material: Typically made from medical-grade silicone or latex, ensuring flexibility and biocompatibility.
  • Design: Equipped with a retention balloon that, once inflated, secures the catheter within the bladder.
  • Sizes: Available in various French sizes to accommodate individual patient needs.
  • Sterility: Supplied sterile for immediate use, with protocols in place for regular maintenance and replacement.

• Intended Use: Suprapubic catheters are indicated for individuals who require long-term bladder drainage, have urethral injuries or obstructions, or need postoperative urinary diversion. They are also considered when urethral catheterization is not feasible or has led to complications.
