Description

McKesson Intermittent Catheter with Hydrophilic Coating
High-quality intermittent catheters designed for quick and easy self-catheterization
Manufactured from clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP)
Indicated for intermittent catheterization of the urethra for those individuals who are unable to promote a natural urine flow or for those individuals who have a significant volume of residual urine following a natural bladder-voiding episode
