Catheters

The purpose of this formulary is to present a range of products which should be used for catheter/sheath users. It has been written with both clinical quality and cost effectiveness in mind.

There is also a guide in each section for the recommended amounts to order; initial & repeat ordering (this excludes emergency call outs).
The price is included as a guide and is from the June 2019 drug tariff; therefore it is subject to change.
