Cardinal Health Polypropylene Sovereign Catheters

The ability to autoclave these catheters depends on the specific configuration you select:

• Animal Health In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Catheter (13 1/2” length): Yes, this specialized variant is autoclavable. This semi-rigid catheter is sold as non-sterile, allowing professionals to utilize sterilization protocols, such as autoclaving, prior to use.
• Standard Sovereign Polypropylene Catheter (10 FR, 22” length): The product information does not specify if this standard catheter configuration is designed to be autoclavable.

The sterility status of the Cardinal Health Sovereign Catheters varies depending on the configuration selected:

• Animal Health In Vitro Fertilization Catheter: This specialized variant is supplied as Non-sterile.
  • A key feature is that this polypropylene catheter is autoclavable, allowing for user sterilization prior to application.
• Sovereign Polypropylene Catheter (10 FR): The product specifications do not explicitly confirm the sterility status for this standard configuration.

Regardless of the configuration, all units are guaranteed to be in Factory New condition.

No, only the specialized Animal Health In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Catheter variant is explicitly noted as being autoclavable.

Here is a summary of the two configurations:

• Animal Health IVF Catheter (13 1/2” Length): This configuration is Autoclavable. It is supplied non-sterile, semi-rigid, and features an open end with a Luer style connector, making it suitable for sterilization.
• Standard Sovereign Polypropylene Catheter (10 FR, 22” Length): Autoclavability is not specified for this standard size variant.

The standard Sovereign Polypropylene Catheter (the 22-inch configuration) has the following specifications:

• French Size (Gauge): 10 FR
• Outer Diameter (O.D.): 3.3 mm
• Length: 22 inches

This specific variant is packaged in quantities of 12 units per pack, with 10 packs per case.

The specialized Animal Health In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) catheters are supplied in bulk quantities. The packaging configuration is:

• 50 units per bag
• 10 bags per case

This totals 500 catheters per case.

Yes, a Luer style connector is featured on one of the available configurations: the Animal Health In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Catheter.

This specialization allows for easy and reliable compatibility with standard Luer connection systems needed for specific veterinary and lab procedures.

Key characteristics of the IVF catheter configuration include:

• Connectivity: Luer Style Connector
• Structure: Semi-Rigid, Open End
• Tip: Straight Cut Tip
• Sterilization: This variant is explicitly noted as Autoclavable.

Please note that this feature is specific to the IVF variant; the standard Sovereign Polypropylene Catheter (10 FR, 22 inches long) does not explicitly specify this type of connector.

The Cardinal Health Polypropylene Sovereign Catheters are available in two distinct configurations, catering to specialized medical and animal health needs:

1. Animal Health In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Catheter

• Dimensions: Measures 13 1/2 inches in length.
• Sterilization: This unit is supplied non-sterile but is autoclavable, allowing for reprocessing where appropriate.
• Packaging: Comes packaged 50 units per bag (10 bags per case).

2. Standard Sovereign Polypropylene Catheter

This is a standard configuration with larger dimensions:

• Size: 10 French (FR), which is equivalent to a 3.3 mm Outer Diameter (O.D.).
• Length: Measures 22 inches long.
• Packaging: Comes packaged 12 units per pack (10 packs per case).

Yes, the Animal Health In Vitro Fertilization Catheter configuration is designed to be autoclavable. This feature permits effective heat sterilization, making it suitable for potential reuse in clinical and laboratory environments.

Important Note: This specific catheter configuration is supplied non-sterile and requires sterilization (autoclaving) prior to use.

Yes, the presence of a straight cut tip depends on the specific product configuration you select.

This feature is unique to the Animal Health In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Catheter variant.

Key characteristics of the IVF catheter featuring the straight cut tip include:

• Connector: Luer Style Connector
• Structure: Semi-rigid, Open End
• Sterilization: Autoclavable (Note: This variant is supplied non-sterile)
• Length: 13 1/2 inches

This specific tip is not mentioned for the standard Sovereign Polypropylene Catheter (10 FR, 22” long).

The rigidity depends on the specific product configuration chosen:

• The Animal Health In Vitro Fertilization Catheter variant (13 1/2” length) is explicitly defined as semi-rigid and features an open-end, straight-cut tip.
• The specifications for the standard Sovereign Polypropylene Catheter (10 FR, 22” length) do not explicitly detail its rigidity.
