Medical-Grade Red Latex Urethral Adult Catheter with 400mm Length Class II and 5 Years Shelf Life

Medical-Grade Red Latex Urethral Adult Catheter for Safe Use, Convenient & Sterile

The Medical-Grade Red Latex Urethral Adult Catheter is an advanced, high-quality medical device designed to provide safe, reliable, and comfortable catheterization for patients requiring bladder drainage. Made from latex rubber, this catheter is engineered for durability, flexibility, and ease of use in various urological applications. It is an ideal solution for both intermittent and long-term catheterization, offering convenience and enhanced patient care.

The red color of this catheter is not just for aesthetics but serves a practical purpose. Red latex is often used in medical devices to distinguish the product's material type and its specific use. The vibrant color also makes it easier for healthcare professionals to identify the catheter among other medical tools, ensuring safe handling and appropriate usage. Additionally, the red hue is often associated with medical-grade quality, which helps convey trust and reliability to both healthcare providers and patients.

Composition & Materials

This urethral catheter is composed of medical-grade latex, a material known for its flexibility, biocompatibility, and durability. Unlike standard catheters, latex has superior elasticity, which allows for easier insertion and comfortable wear, reducing the risk of irritation or injury during use. Latex is a natural material that ensures a snug fit, providing secure drainage and a smooth catheterization process.

In addition, the catheter is coated with a special lubricating gel to aid insertion and minimize friction during use, further improving patient comfort. For those who prefer non-latex materials, alternative silicone versions are available in the market, but the latex material remains one of the most common due to its excellent performance and cost-effectiveness.

Benefits of Silicone Material

While the catheter itself is made from latex, silicone is often recommended as an alternative material for patients with latex allergies. Silicone catheters are generally more biocompatible, non-reactive, and softer than latex catheters, making them a preferred choice for sensitive individuals. Silicone's smooth surface reduces the risk of urethral trauma, and its material is less likely to irritate compared to latex. The choice between latex and silicone depends on the patient’s specific needs and potential sensitivities.
