Rapid Administration of Medication and Fluids
The Needle-Free Alternative to the Oral Route
Patented and FDA-cleared, the Macy Catheter® facilitates quick and effective symptom management by providing rectal access for medication and fluid administration.
The catheter provides a safer and more comfortable method of medication administration than other options like IV and SubQ.
The Macy Catheter can be used in multiple settings, including hospice and palliative care, home health, and skilled nursing facilities.

The Macy Catheter as a Standard of Practice
What was first intended to be a short term solution became a standard of practice.
Dr. Wendy Schmitz, MD, Vice President of Medical Care at Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton, quickly discovered that medication administration via the Macy Catheter controls pain faster than when medications are administered subcutaneously. She also found that the device allowed clinicians at her practice to effectively control pain with fewer dose adjustments. Because the Macy Catheter facilitated quick, effective symptom control at her practice, Dr. Schmitz also observed a decrease in nursing time.
Due to its clinical and operational benefits, Dr. Schmitz decided to keep using the catheter after the shortage passed. She established use of the Macy Catheter as a standard of practice.
