Nelaton Catheter is designed different from other similar catheters currently available. The unique feature of the catheter is the connector which incorporates a cap that fits the connector funnel. This accessory provides the user a means of interrupting urine flow anytime during catheterization.

A Nelaton catheter is a type of urinary catheter used to drain urine from the bladder. It is named after the French surgeon Auguste Nelaton. Here are some key features of a Nelaton catheter:

1. Design: It is a flexible, straight catheter made of latex or silicone rubber. It has a rounded tip for ease of insertion and two lateral drainage eyes near the tip to allow urine to flow into the catheter.
2. Sizes: Nelaton catheters come in various sizes ranging from pediatric to adult sizes. The size selection depends on factors such as the patient’s age, sex, and medical condition.
3. Indications: Nelaton catheters are commonly used for short-term urinary drainage in medical settings, such as during surgery, in patients with urinary retention, or for bladder irrigation.
