Who is 6040972-Each Open Suction Catheter 14 Fr With Cup And Gloves for?
This catheter is ideal for hospitals, surgical centers, and emergency departments that require reliable, low-cost urinary drainage for adult patients. It serves clinicians who need a quick, ready-to-use solution for postoperative monitoring, urinary retention, or trauma-related catheterization. Because the product is latex-free, it is also suitable for patients with known latex sensitivities.
How does 6040972-Each Open Suction Catheter 14 Fr With Cup And Gloves compare?
Compared with reusable catheters, the 6040972-Each model eliminates the need for re-processing, lowering labor and sterilization expenses. Against other disposable catheters, it stands out for its included cup and gloves, which many competitors omit, providing a more complete kit at a price point of $2.22 per unit. While the single size limits use to average-sized adults, its performance and infection-control features match higher-priced alternatives.
When using the catheter, insert the tip gently into the urethra following standard aseptic technique. Monitor the cup for the characteristic whistling sound that indicates a blockage; if heard, pause suction and clear the obstruction. After drainage is complete, disconnect the catheter, dispose of the cup and gloves in a biohazard container, and replace with a fresh sterile unit for the next patient.
Each unit is individually sealed in a moisture-barrier pouch, allowing storage at room temperature for up to two years without loss of sterility. This extended shelf life supports inventory management in busy hospitals and reduces waste from expired supplies.
Best use cases
- →Post-operative urinary drainage in surgical wards.
- →Acute care for patients with urinary retention.
- →Emergency department catheterization for trauma patients.
Is Open Suction Catheter 14 Fr With Cup And Gloves right for you?
Buy the 6040972-Each Open Suction Catheter if you manage a hospital or clinic that needs a reliable, low-cost urinary drainage solution. It’s suited for nurses and physicians familiar with standard catheter insertion techniques. The latex-free, single-size design works well for adult patients, while the included cup and gloves streamline workflow. Alternatives include reusable silicone catheters for long-term use or larger-diameter disposables for pediatric cases, but those options are pricier and require additional processing.
How it compares: Compared with reusable silicone catheters, this disposable model eliminates sterilization steps and reduces cross-contamination risk. Against other single-use catheters, it adds a cup and gloves, offering a more complete kit at a lower price, though it is limited to the 14 Fr size.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the whistle-tip on the catheter?
▾
The whistle-tip is a safety feature that produces an audible tone when suction pressure encounters resistance, such as a blockage or kinking of the catheter. This immediate sound alerts clinicians to stop suction and assess the line, helping prevent bladder over-distension and reducing the risk of injury.
Does the kit include any accessories for infection control?
▾
Yes, the package contains two powder-free nitrile gloves and a sterile disposable cup, both sealed within the same moisture-barrier pouch as the catheter. The gloves allow hands-free manipulation while maintaining a closed system, and the cup provides a clear reservoir for urine, minimizing exposure to pathogens.
How should the catheter be disposed after use?
▾
After drainage is complete, disconnect the catheter and place the cup, gloves, and catheter into a designated biohazard container. Follow your facility’s regulated medical waste protocols, which typically require sealed bags and proper labeling before removal by licensed waste contractors. This ensures safe disposal and compliance with infection-control standards.
Is the catheter suitable for patients with latex allergy?
▾
Yes, the catheter and its accessories are manufactured from latex-free materials, including the nitrile gloves. This construction eliminates the risk of latex-induced hypersensitivity reactions, making it safe for patients who have documented latex allergies or for environments where latex avoidance is a policy.
Can the catheter be used with standard drainage bags?
▾
The catheter’s 14 French size and closed-system connector are compatible with most standard urinary drainage bags and suction tubing. It fits securely onto the bag’s inlet port, allowing seamless integration into existing collection systems without the need for additional adapters.
