The OPTION-vf is intended to provide drainage of the urinary bladder. The OPTION-yf is indicated for use only for urinary bladder drainage in female patients: 1) who have acute conditions that require short-term (14 days or less) urinary management; 2) who are capable of operating the device in accordance with its instructions for use; and 3) for whom normal bladder cycling is not contraindicated.

The OPTION-yf is an indwelling catheter that provides drainage of the urinary bladder. It is a sterile, single-use, disposable device that is to be prescribed by a physician and inserted and removed by an appropriate health care professional. The device is composed of biocompatible silicone elastomers, and consists of: a flexible shaft with two opposing eyelets in the proximal tip for urine entry, one internal lumen for urine drainage and a second lumen for balloon inflation; a retention balloon; an adjustable retainer ring; a self-sealing balloon inflation microvalve port; and a urine discharge bulb with integral valve. The catheter may be used with the Continuous Drainage Adaptor accessory to provide continuous urinary drainage.

The OPTION-vf is an indwelling catheter that provides controlled drainage of the urinary bladder. It is a sterile, single-use, disposable device that is to be prescribed by a physician and inserted and removed by an appropriate health care professional. The device is composed of biocompatible silicone elastomers, and consists of a flexible shaft with two opposing eyelets in the proximal tip for urine entry, one internal lumen for urine drainage and a second lumen for balloon inflation; a retention balloon; an adjustable retainer ring; a self-sealing balloon inflation microvalve port; and a urine discharge bulb with integral valve. The device is inserted through the urethra to position the proximal tip and balloon into the urinary bladder. Once the catheter is properly inserted, the teardrop-shaped balloon is inflated with 5 to 10 cc of sterile water through the microvalve port via a standard syringe and a blunt cannula. The retainer ring is then adjusted to the urinary meatus, thus gently anchoring the device in place. Removal of the OPTION-vf follows aspiration of the fluid from the balloon. The patient-operated discharge valve within the OPTION-vf is housed within the discharge bulb. When the bulb is squeezed, the valve opens allowing urine to pass. When the bulb is released, the valve closes, providing the patient with direct control over urinary drainage. The OPTION-vf thus allows the patient to mimic normal voiding and permits patient mobility and comfort by eliminating the need for urine collection bags and tubing.

The OPTICON™ Direct Male Urinary Catheter for Continuous Drainage is used to pass fluids from the urinary bladder. It must be connected to standard drainage tubes, drainage tube adaptors, tubes and bags.

The OPTICON™ Direct Male Urinary Catheter for Continuous Drainage is a sterile, single use/disposable, flexible, tubular catheter that is inserted through the urethra to pass urine from the urinary bladder, when connected to standard drainage tube adaptors, tubes and bags. The catheter is manufactured from soft biocompatible silicone. The male catheter requires an introducer for insertion. OPTICON™ Medical currently recommends the use of a commonly available introducer, (such as the Bard 0420 Wire Stylet) to aid in insertion. This introducer is not sold by OPTICON™ Medical, nor is the introducer included in the packaging for the OPTICON™ Direct Male Urinary Catheter for Continuous Drainage Catheter. The catheter is to be used only with standard urinary drainage tubes, drainage tube adaptors, tubes and bags.
