Feline Urinary Catheter with Pigtail (3Fr x 130cm) is a sterile veterinary urinary catheter designed for use in cats, featuring a pigtail-tip design. The catheter is straight during insertion, with a stylet in place, and curls into a pigtail shape upon removal of the stylet once positioned inside the bladder, helping the catheter stay securely in place. It is constructed from polyurethane and is radiopaque for visibility under imaging.
KEY FEATURES
- Pigtail-tip design — curls in place inside the bladder for retention
- Polyurethane construction
- 3Fr diameter, 130cm (7") length
- Female luer cap with suture holes for securing
- Sterile
- Radiopaque
BENEFITS
The pigtail design is intended to help the catheter remain securely positioned within the bladder once the stylet is removed and the tip curls, which can support more stable indwelling use compared to a straight-tip catheter. The female luer cap with suture holes allows the catheter to be secured externally, and the radiopaque construction allows visibility on imaging if positioning needs to be confirmed. As with all urinary catheterization procedures, insertion and management should be performed by a veterinarian or under veterinary supervision, with appropriate aftercare to monitor for signs of discomfort, infection, or dislodgement.
