MTG EZ-Gripper® is a self-contained, pre-lubricated, closed system catheter. From start to finish, the user will not need the fine motor skills of either the hands or fingers in order to cath. Even the packaging has been fitted with access finger holes for easier opening. Affixed to the outside of the collection bag is our patented Gripper, a handle that applies pressure to the tube from both sides of the bag, so the user doesn’t have to firmly squeeze during advancement, and tenodesis grip can be utilized. As the Gripper is advanced towards the top of the bag, the catheter also advances forward about 2”, through the urethra and into the bladder. As the Gripper is returned to its original position in the bag in preparation for another advancement, the catheter remains stable and the patented MTG EZ-Advancer® valve prevents the catheter from going backwards.
Features Include:
- The catheter is pre-lubricated, so setup time is minimal.
- The MTG introducer tip is designed to reduce the risk of recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (see video for proper usage instructions).
- Soft, fire polished, smooth eyelets (drainage holes) allow for comfortable passage through the urethra and into the bladder.
- Offset eyelets, located near the tip of the catheter, provide drainage from two points within the bladder.
- The MTG EZ-Advancer® valve secures the catheter tube after each forward advancement, preventing retraction back into the bag during insertion.
- The catheter bag protects the sterility of the tube and collects the urine.
- Sterile sample can be collected (see Sample Retrieval).
- The catheter is available in 12, 14 and 16 Fr., 16” length.
