Intermittent urethral drainage catheter, antimicrobial
15 devices GMDN 46626
These are intermittent urethral catheters designed for short-term, episodic drainage of the bladder. They are inserted through the urethra by the user to empty the bladder when natural voiding is not possible, and are removed after each use. They feature antimicrobial coatings to help reduce the risk of urinary tract infections during repeated use.
This category includes reusable catheters intended for use by a single patient over a limited period. They are typically pre-lubricated or made from materials that ease insertion and removal. Regulatory classification and supply requirements vary by jurisdiction and are determined on a per-device basis.
