Bard 086020 Urethral Cath. 20Fr Malecot Model Drain Proportionate Head

The Bard 086020 Urethral Catheter, a 20Fr Malecot Model, is designed to provide reliable and efficient drainage for patients requiring catheterization. It features a proportionate head with a Malecot winged tip, which enhances its drainage capabilities and ensures secure placement within the bladder or other drainage sites. Manufactured by Bard, a trusted leader in urological products, this catheter is built to meet the needs of healthcare professionals and patients, offering comfort, durability, and superior drainage performance.

Key Features:

Malecot Winged Tip for Enhanced Drainage: The Bard 086020 Urethral Catheter is designed with a Malecot tip, which features winged extensions that improve drainage by maximizing the surface area exposed to fluids. This design ensures a steady flow of urine or other bodily fluids, making it ideal for cases where efficient drainage is essential, such as postoperative care or long-term catheterization.

Proportionate Head for Secure Placement: The proportionate head of this catheter provides secure placement within the bladder or other drainage sites. Its shape ensures that the catheter remains properly positioned without shifting, reducing the need for frequent adjustments. This feature is particularly important for patients who require extended catheterization, as it enhances comfort and minimizes irritation.

Durable and Flexible Construction: The Bard 086020 catheter is made from high-quality, flexible materials that allow for easy insertion and minimize discomfort for the patient. The catheter is durable, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of long-term use while maintaining its shape and function. The smooth surface of the catheter reduces friction, making it easier to insert and remove, thereby reducing the risk of trauma to the urethra.

20 French Size for Optimal Drainage: With a 20 French size, this catheter offers a balance between ease of insertion and efficient drainage. The larger diameter allows for a higher flow rate, making it suitable for patients who need to drain large volumes of urine or fluid. This size is commonly used for adult patients requiring continuous bladder drainage or postoperative care.

Sterile and Ready-to-Use: The Bard 086020 catheter is packaged in a sterile, single-use format, ensuring that it is ready for immediate use. This eliminates the need for additional sterilization and reduces the risk of infection for the patient. Healthcare professionals can trust that each catheter is sterile and safe, contributing to better patient care and outcomes.

Versatile Use for Various Medical Applications: This catheter is suitable for a wide range of medical applications, including urinary drainage, nephrostomy drainage, or for patients requiring continuous bladder irrigation. The Malecot model is also commonly used in situations where postoperative drainage is required, such as after urological or gynecological surgeries.

Radiopaque for Easy Visualization: The catheter is radiopaque, meaning it is visible under X-ray or other imaging techniques. This feature allows healthcare professionals to confirm the correct placement of the catheter, particularly in complex cases where precise positioning is critical.

Comfort-Oriented Design: Bard has designed this catheter with patient comfort in mind. The smooth surface and flexible materials reduce discomfort during insertion, while the Malecot tip provides gentle yet secure anchoring in the bladder or other drainage site. This design minimizes irritation and potential trauma to sensitive tissues.

Applications:

• Postoperative Care: Ideal for postoperative patients requiring efficient drainage after urological or gynecological surgeries, especially in cases where continuous or long-term catheterization is necessary.
• Nephrostomy Drainage: Suitable for use in nephrostomy drainage, where fluid must be removed from the kidneys, ensuring optimal performance and minimal risk of blockages.
• Extended Bladder Drainage: Designed for patients needing extended or continuous bladder drainage due to conditions like urinary retention, enlarged prostate, or neurological disorders.
• Intermittent Use in Urological Procedures: It can also be used intermittently for draining the bladder in various urological procedures, providing flexibility in application.

Benefits:

Enhanced Drainage with Malecot Tip: The winged tip ensures maximum drainage efficiency by providing a larger surface area for fluid to flow through, reducing the risk of blockages.
Secure and Stable Placement: The proportionate head and Malecot design keep the catheter securely in place, minimizing the need for repositioning and enhancing patient comfort.
Durable and Reliable: Made from high-quality materials, the catheter is both flexible and durable, ensuring it performs reliably even during long-term use.
