Key Benefits

  • Bypasses Urethral Pathology: Provides safe urinary diversion in severe urethral strictures, pelvic trauma, or acute prostatic obstruction.
  • Balloon-Free Retention: Malecot wings anchor securely against the bladder dome without inflation balloons, avoiding risk of balloon deflation.
  • Wide Lumen Flow Rates: Open tip and wing geometry allow rapid bladder emptying and clearance of mucus or mucosal sloughs.
  • Reduced Bladder Neck Contact: Anchors high in the bladder, minimizing painful bladder spasms associated with urethral catheter balloon contact.
  • Durable Surgical Material: Made from soft, flexible silicone or polyurethane for patient comfort during extended wear.
