The VaPro intermittent catheter is a flexible tubular device that is inserted through the urethra by male, female and pediatric patients who need to drain urine from the bladder.
Device Story
VaPro intermittent catheter is a hydrophilic-coated, single-use device for urinary bladder drainage. It features a protective sleeve and introducer tip to shield the catheter from distal urethral bacteria during insertion. The device is pre-lubricated via a vapor strip within the packaging that hydrates the coating, eliminating the need for manual activation. Designed for ease of use by patients with limited dexterity. The device is inserted through the urethra to the bladder to facilitate urine flow. It is intended for use by patients requiring intermittent catheterization.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993 and FDA G95-1 standards. Product evaluation confirmed device functionality.
Technological Characteristics
Hydrophilic PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) coated catheter; water vapor hydration system; protective sleeve and introducer tip; funnel end design; sterile; single-use; biocompatible materials per ISO 10993.
Indications for Use
Indicated for male, female, and pediatric patients requiring bladder drainage via urethral catheterization.
