Catheter with Guide Wire EC

Product Overview

A single-use urinary catheter supplied with a matched guide wire. The wire carries the stiffness needed to pass the urethra and is withdrawn once the catheter is in the bladder, leaving a soft indwelling tube.

This listing is the EC size in the range. The base size and the other two variants are listed separately. Size is selected by patient and by urethral access, so confirm which variant you need with us before a first stock order.

Key Features

• Guide wire supplied with the catheter — placement stiffness comes from the wire, not from a rigid tube
• Single use, supplied sterile
• Connection hub for drainage bag or syringe
• One of four sizes in the range, so a practice can stock a full size ladder from one supplier

Why Choose This Size

• Guide wire supplied with the catheter, so placement stiffness is not paid for with a rigid indwelling tube

FAQ

What size is the EC variant? The French size and length are pending the supplier specification. Ask us before ordering — size is the only thing that decides whether a catheter is usable, and we will not publish a figure we cannot document.

How does it differ from the other variants? They are size variants of the same catheter. Which size each letter corresponds to is pending confirmation with the supplier.

Does the guide wire stay in place? No. It is withdrawn once the catheter is in the bladder.

Is it single use? Yes, supplied sterile for single use.

Can it be left indwelling? Confirm the intended dwell time with us against the supplier specification before using it as an indwelling catheter.
