Sterimed Hematuria TURP Catheter – 100% Silicone

The Sterimed Hematuria TURP Catheter is a high-strength, 100% silicone, three-way catheter designed specifically for Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) procedures. With its larger irrigation channel, wide drainage eyes, and soft balloon, it ensures continuous irrigation, efficient clot evacuation, and patient safety during post-TURP care.

Clinical Need After TURP Surgery

After a TURP operation, hematuria and clot formation are common complications. If not managed properly, clots can obstruct drainage, leading to pain, bladder distension, and repeated interventions. Continuous irrigation with a reliable three-way catheter is essential to:

Maintain hemostasis

Prevent clot retention

Ensure patient comfort and faster recovery

According to the Mayo Clinic, post-TURP catheterization is a standard part of care to avoid blood clot obstruction.

Key Features of Sterimed Hematuria TURP Catheter

High-Strength Silicone Shaft
Prevents collapse under heavy clot load and maintains smooth drainage.

Bigger Irrigation Channel
Allows rapid saline flow, enabling efficient clot removal without blockage.

Larger Drainage Eyes
Wide openings allow bigger clots to pass, lowering the risk of obstruction.

Soft, Large-Volume Balloon (50–100 cc)
Ensures secure bladder placement with uniform inflation and minimal trauma.

Three-Way Irrigation System
Facilitates simultaneous irrigation and drainage, reducing re-catheterization.

Radiopaque Line
Enables quick and accurate positioning under X-ray.

How It Works

The three-way system of the Sterimed Hematuria TURP Catheter ensures uninterrupted flow:

Irrigation Channel delivers saline solution into the bladder to prevent clot formation.

Drainage Channel allows clot-laden fluid to exit smoothly through wide drainage eyes.

Balloon Channel secures the catheter in place, ensuring patient safety during irrigation.

This design reduces the chance of catheter blockage, provides effective hemostasis, and enhances clinical efficiency.

When to Use the Hematuria TURP Catheter

The Sterimed Hematuria Catheter is recommended in:

Post-TURP surgery irrigation and drainage

Cases of severe hematuria requiring continuous irrigation
