Supply Issues Coloplast Limited Catheter Products (ICN 1885)
Important Customer Notice Update
Coloplast Limited, a supplier of several catheter products, is experiencing ongoing issues with several of its catheter products and ranges. Coloplast has advised us that it has insufficient capacity at its manufacturing and sterilisation plants due to increased global demand.
Coloplast is regularly reviewing capacity and training at its manufacturing plant but does not anticipate that normal levels of supply will be resumed until April 2025. We will continue to receive intermittent stock, and during this period Coloplast has committed to fulfilling NHS Supply Chain orders as top priority.
