Asta Cath Female Catheter Guide

THE ASTA CATH FEMALE CATHETER GUIDE, designed by Linda Asta RN,  for intermittent self-catheterization is an elegantly simple device that assists women in locating their urethral opening.  As the guide is inserted into the vagina, it spreads the labia and one hole aligns with the urethral opening. A 14 French or smaller catheter can then be passed into the bladder for emptying. The three alignment holes allow for most anatomical differences.
