What is it indicated for?

CompactCath™ Lubricated Intermittent Urinary Catheter and OneCath™ Intermittent Urinary Catheter are indicated for use in male, female, and pediatric patients (adolescents and transitional adolescents) with chronic urine retention and patients with post void residual volume (PVR) due to neurogenic and non-neurogenic voiding dysfunction. The catheter is inserted into the urethra to reach the bladder allowing urine to drain.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
