Intended Use
The Well Lead PVC Hydrophilic Urethral Catheter is launched for clean intermittent catheterization-CIC treatment and indicated for use by patients with chronic urine retention. The catheter is inserted into the bladder through the urethra for emptying the bladder.
Device Story
Well Lead PVC Hydrophilic Urethral Catheter is a single-use, flexible, tubular urinary catheter designed for clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) to drain the bladder. Device consists of medical-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC) shaft coated with hydrophilic polymer (polyvinyl pyrrolidone). Prior to use, catheter is immersed in water for 30 seconds to activate coating, creating a slippery surface to reduce friction against urethral mucosa during insertion. Device is used by patients with chronic urine retention to empty the bladder. Available in various sizes for pediatric, male, and female patients. Device is non-powered and manually operated.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing including flow rate analysis, catheter strength, connector security, and coefficient of friction testing per EN 1616:1997/A1:1999. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993 standards, including in vitro cytotoxicity, delayed contact sensitization, and penile irritation.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Medical grade PVC coated with polyvinyl pyrrolidone. Design: Single lumen shaft, multi-port adaptor, 1 cuff. Sizes: 6Fr-24Fr. Energy: None (manual). Sterilization: Ethylene oxide (EO) per ISO 11135-1. Packaging: Peel pack compliant with ISO 11607-1/2. Shelf life: 5 years (accelerated aging).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with chronic urine retention requiring clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). Suitable for pediatric patients (ages 2 to <12 years, sizes 6Fr-10Fr) and patients 12 years and older (sizes 12Fr-24Fr).
Regulatory Classification

#### Device Description:
The Well Lead PVC Hydrophilic Urethral Catheter is a flexible tubular single use urinary catheter that is inserted through the urethra to allow drainage of the bladder. The device consists of disposable polyvinyl chloride catheter (medical grade PVC) coated with hydrophilic polymer. When the catheter is immersed in water for 30 seconds it becomes slippery and ready to use.
The catheters come in sizes from 12Fr-24Fr for Male, 12Fr-24Fr for Female and 6Fr-10Fr for Pediatric.
Sizes 6Fr - 10Fr are for Children ages 2 years old to less than 12 years old, Sizes 12Fr -24Fr are for 12 years old and over.
