Sterimed Urigate (Urine Catheter Valve) is a catheter valve used with urethral and suprapubic catheters to control the flow of urine and allow convenient bladder emptying. It helps support regular bladder filling and flushing, which may help maintain bladder tone and capacity.

It is also known as a urinary catheter valve, manual urinary catheter valve, or catheter drainage valve. It is inserted into the Foley catheter and works by allowing the user to open or close the outlet for controlled urine drainage when required.

It is designed for durable and safe use and comes in a sterile, individually packed pouch. Its easy-to-operate mechanism helps minimize the risk of blockage and allows convenient bladder emptying, supporting patient mobility and independence.
