Amici Classic Male Intermittent Catheters 16in 10FR

Why Choose Amici Classic Male Intermittent Catheter 10Fr 16"

10Fr sits at the smaller end of the standard adult male intermittent catheter range — approximately 3.3mm external diameter. The clinical indication for 10Fr over larger calibres is reduced urethral trauma and irritation in users with urethral sensitivity, urethral stricture history, or presentations where the treating clinician has determined that a smaller catheter diameter minimises mechanical mucosal contact during insertion and dwell. For intermittent catheterisation users who perform 2–4 daily insertions over months or years, the cumulative effect of catheter friction on the urethral mucosa is clinically significant, and selecting the smallest effective calibre for adequate bladder drainage is a standard principle of long-term intermittent catheterisation management. The Amici Classic straight catheter format is the appropriate choice for standard male urethral anatomy without prostatic obstruction or bladder neck anatomical challenge — a straightforward, accessible intermittent catheter in a narrower calibre for users who do not require hydrophilic coating or specialised tip features. Confirm lubrication status (uncoated requiring separate lubricant, pre-lubricated, or hydrophilic), sterility, and packaging quantity by exact SKU before dispensing. Use under healthcare provider direction.

Benefits

✔ Smaller 10Fr calibre reduces mechanical urethral trauma per insertion

✔ Appropriate for urethral-sensitive users where larger calibres cause irritation

✔ Straight format for straightforward male intermittent catheterisation

✔ Single-use sterile format supports infection control in intermittent programmes

✔ Classic format suitable for users who do not require advanced coating or features

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Neurogenic bladder management requiring smaller 10Fr calibre for urethral comfort

✔ Male intermittent catheterisation where urethral sensitivity indicates narrower calibre

✔ Post-stricture or post-procedure catheterisation where smaller diameter is directed

✔ Long-term bladder management requiring the smallest effective calibre per clinical guidance

✔ Home-care and clinic intermittent catheterisation supply for 10Fr users

Usage & Care

Intermittent catheterisation must be performed under healthcare provider direction. Apply appropriate lubricant to the full catheter length before insertion if the catheter is not pre-lubricated — confirm lubrication type by SKU. Insert using clean or sterile technique as directed. Drain the bladder fully before removing. Dispose of the single-use catheter after use — do not reuse. Follow the prescribed catheterisation schedule and hygiene protocol. Consult a healthcare provider if haematuria, burning, fever, or other symptoms develop.
