Description

Nelaton catheters are available in various sizes, with each size designated by a standardized color code, helping healthcare professionals select the appropriate size. These sizes are measured based on the French scale (Fr).

There are two main types of Nelaton catheters:

Disposable: This type is designed for short-term and temporary use and is discarded after use. It is typically made from PVC and is used in both hospital and home settings.
Reusable: Made primarily from silicone, these catheters can be reused multiple times after disinfection. This type is suitable for patients who require frequent catheterization.

The Nelaton catheter is a simple and minimally invasive device, particularly effective for situations requiring temporary and frequent bladder drainage. It generally causes minimal pain and plays a crucial role in reducing complications from urinary retention and urinary tract infections. However, to reduce the risk of infection or injury to the urinary tract, its use must be careful and under sterile conditions.

Nelaton catheters are important and effective tools in urological care, with standardized sizing and color codes that facilitate easy selection of the correct size and ensure safe and hygienic operation.

In addition to their common use in bladder drainage, Nelaton catheters are also used for suctioning mucus from the mouth, throat, and upper respiratory tracts. In certain medical conditions, especially in patients who are unable to clear mucus and oral secretions due to respiratory problems, strokes, spinal injuries, anesthesia, or respiratory muscle weakness, Nelaton catheters are used to assist in draining secretions.
