- A Malecot catheter is a type of urinary catheter used to drain urine from the bladder. It has a distinctive mushroom-shaped tip with multiple lateral openings. _x000D_

Design: A Malecot catheter is typically made of medical-grade silicone or latex material. It consists of a flexible tube with a balloon-like tip that expands inside the bladder to hold the catheter in place. The mushroom-shaped tip has several lateral openings or flaps that allow urine to flow into the catheter.

Mushroom-shaped tip: The unique mushroom-shaped tip of the Malecot catheter helps to prevent the catheter from slipping out of the bladder. The lateral openings or flaps facilitate urine drainage from the bladder into the catheter.

Multiple size options: Malecot catheters are available in different sizes to accommodate the needs of individual patients. The size of the catheter is usually measured in French units, which corresponds to the diameter of the catheter tube.

Indications: Malecot catheters are commonly used in specific clinical situations. They are often used when other types of urinary catheters, such as Foley catheters, are not suitable or effective. Malecot catheters are commonly used for patients with urinary retention, bladder outlet obstruction, or postoperative drainage requirements.
