The TOP Nelaton Catheter is made of a material which has the right degree of flexibility, yet is soft to the touch. And the catheter surface has been embossed, so that insertion into the body is smooth. The distal end opening and the side eyes are smoothly contoured and free of sharp edges, minimizing tissue trauma In the urethra and bladder.
Al sizes from 8 Fr to 20 Fr have two ode eyes, and Luer-tapered catheters are available in both closed distal end and open distal end types. Nelaton catheters with a catheter taper adapter are closed distal end-type catheters. A Luer-top syringe or other device can be connected to the catheter taper adapter by cutting the adapter at the reference line. Nelaton catheters in sizes from 22 Fr to 26 Fr have an open distal end and one ode eye. All are catheter-tapered.
