You Had Surgery and Now You Need Urinary Catheters

by | Apr 5, 2024 | Surgery

You were told by your urologist that you need to have some male-related surgery. It was performed in a Surgery Center so you could go home that same day. That was a great relief for you. However, now you will need male intermittent catheters. Your surgeon explained this all to you, but you want to learn more information about male intermittent catheters, so you decide to do research online.

As your doctor explained to you before surgery, catheters these days are much more comfortable than they have ever been. They are made of more flexible material like PVC and they bend in areas of the urethra as they need to. You have heard of Foley catheters but have not heard the term male intermittent catheters. The difference, you have learned, is that the male intermittent ones do not stay in the bladder as the Foley ones do. The intermittent type drains urine and is then removed and thrown away after each use.

While does not sound like a lot of fun, you know it is necessary for a week or so, and then, following the doctor’s examination post-surgery might be discontinued.

You have been given an extra catheter, but you need to order more and some other supplies, as directed by your surgeon. You want to find a company that will take your insurance, or if not covered by the insurance, prices its supplies reasonably.

You talked to your brother-in-law, and he suggested the company he used when he needed similar supplies. He suggests that you contact Company Name through their website at website and follow them on Facebook for updates.
