Frequently asked questions

Is hygienic no-touch handling included?

Yes, a key feature of the Convatec GentleCath Hydrophilic Catheter is the included no-touch handling strip.

This strip allows for hygienic preparation, usage, and disposal of the catheter unit without requiring direct hand contact with the catheter surface. This design helps to minimize the risk of contamination during intermittent self-catheterization.

Is the GentleCath system a complete kit?

Yes, the Convatec GentleCath is designed as a hygienic, ready-to-use system for intermittent self-catheterization.

Every unit includes the essential components required for sterile insertion:

  • Hydrophilic Coated Catheter: Ensures smooth, low-friction insertion and removal.
  • Sterile Water Sachet: Activates the hydrophilic coating immediately upon opening.
  • No-Touch Handling Strip: A unique feature that prevents direct hand contact with the sterile catheter surface during preparation and use.

Please note the packaging variants:

  • The ‘Sachet and Kit’ configuration (10 per box) is the most complete, as it also includes a Wall Attachment for secure disposal.
  • The ‘Sachet only’ configuration (30 per box) includes the catheter, sachet, and handling strip, but excludes the Wall Attachment.
What packaging quantities are available?

Yes, the Convatec GentleCath Hydrophilic Urinary Catheter is offered in two distinct box quantities, tailored to different user needs:

  • 30 units per box (Sachet only): This configuration includes 30 individually packaged catheters, each with the hydrophilic catheter, the sterile water sachet required for coating activation, and the no-touch handling strip.
  • 10 units per box (Sachet and Kit): This option is packaged as a complete kit containing 10 units. It includes the catheter, sterile water sachet, and no-touch handling strip, along with a wall attachment for convenient dispensing or disposal.
Is this catheter designed for single use?

Yes, the Convatec Gentlecath™ Hydrophilic Urinary Catheter is designed for single use to ensure sterility and prevent infection.

Does the hydrophilic coating ensure smooth insertion?

Yes, the hydrophilic coating is engineered to provide smooth, low-friction insertion and removal, which significantly enhances patient comfort during intermittent catheterization. The coating is activated instantly by the included sterile water sachet when the system is opened.

This system also features a unique no-touch handling strip that allows you to prepare, use, and dispose of the catheter without touching the sterile catheter surface directly, promoting maximum hygiene.

Does the GentleCath use a high-quality hydrophilic coating?

Yes, the Convatec GentleCath features a specialized hydrophilic coating designed to enhance comfort and hygiene during intermittent catheterization.

Key benefits of this system include:

  • Smooth Insertion: The coating provides a highly lubricated, low-friction surface when activated, ensuring comfortable insertion and withdrawal.
  • Instant Activation: A sterile water sachet is integrated into the packaging, allowing for on-demand activation of the coating right before use.
  • No-Touch Hygiene: The unique no-touch handling strip ensures you can prepare, use, and dispose of the catheter without touching the coated surface, maximizing hygiene and minimizing contamination risk.
Is this catheter suitable for intermittent use?

Yes, the Convatec Gentlecath Hydrophilic Urinary Catheter is specifically designed for intermittent urinary catheterization.

Is the catheter easy to prepare?

Yes, the Convatec GentleCath Hydrophilic Urinary Catheter is designed for ease of use.

It features an all-in-one system that includes a sterile water sachet for instant activation of the hydrophilic coating. This allows for quick and hygienic preparation before use.

How does the no-touch handling strip ensure hygiene?

The unique no-touch handling strip is engineered to maximize hygiene and support sterile technique during intermittent catheterization.It works by allowing you to manage the catheter system—from packaging and preparation (activating the hydrophilic coating) through insertion and disposal—without needing to directly touch the catheter tube itself.This critical feature minimizes the risk of contamination from your hands, enhancing both safety and ease of use.

What's the benefit of the hydrophilic coating?

The hydrophilic coating on the Convatec GentleCath catheter provides a highly lubricated surface when activated with the included sterile water sachet. This ensures a smooth insertion and withdrawal, enhancing user comfort during intermittent catheterization.
