Welcome to LAC Health’s Straight Catheters category, your trusted source for high-quality, sterile medical supplies designed for urinary catheterization. Our straight catheters are essential tools used in various clinical settings to facilitate urine drainage from the bladder. These products are particularly suited for intermittent catheterization procedures, ensuring patient comfort and reducing the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Each catheter is crafted from medical-grade materials such as silicone or latex-free polymers, providing flexibility, durability, and biocompatibility for safe insertion.
Key features of our straight catheters include precise sizing options ranging from pediatric (8-10 Fr) to adult (12-18 Fr) diameters, with lengths typically 12-16 inches to accommodate different anatomical needs. They feature smooth, rounded tips for atraumatic insertion, radiopaque lines for X-ray visibility, and funnel-shaped connectors for secure attachment to drainage bags. All products are individually packaged in sterile pouches, maintaining asepsis and preventing contamination.
Clinically, straight catheters are indispensable in hospitals for acute care, surgical centers for perioperative management, clinics for diagnostic procedures, long-term care facilities for resident comfort, and home health settings for self-catheterization. They support procedures like urodynamic studies, bladder irrigation, and post-surgical drainage, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.
Compliance is paramount at LAC Health. Our straight catheters meet stringent regulatory standards, including FDA 510(k) clearance for safety and efficacy, ISO 13485 certification for quality management systems, CE marking for European conformity, and adherence to ASTM standards for material performance. We prioritize patient safety with rigorous testing for sterility, pyrogenicity, and biocompatibility.
Selecting the right straight catheter involves considering factors like patient age, gender, urethral length, and medical history. Our sizing guides provide detailed charts to help healthcare professionals choose the appropriate French size and length. Material choices include silicone for hypoallergenic properties and PVC for cost-effectiveness, with options for coated or uncoated surfaces to minimize friction.
