Are you looking for information regarding urinary catheterization for boys? We understand that it can be difficult to cath your child at first. You may have only been introduced to one type of catheter, or you may not have received in-depth instruction on how to help your child catheterize. To assist parents/caregivers and their boys in learning how to cath, 180 Medical offers the following helpful resources.

If you have any questions, our Catheter Specialists are here to help.
