An Elegantly Simple Device

THE ASTA-CATH FEMALE CATHETER GUIDE is an elegantly simple device which assists women in locating their urinary meatus. As THE ASTA-CATH is inserted into the vagina, it spreads the labia and one hole aligns with the urinary meatus. A 14 French or smaller catheter can then be passed into the bladder for emptying. The three alignment holes allow for most anatomical differences.

Women who could benefit from THE ASTA-CATH:

• Women with neurological impairment such as multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, spina bifida, or diabetes
• Women who self cath to manage incontinence
• Women who learn self cath for post-operative management of urinary retention following stress incontinence procedures
• Women who are learning to insert various incontinence devices
• Caregivers assisting women with intermittent catheterization

THE ASTA-CATH decreases teaching time and increases the success rate for women who need to perform self catheterization.
