Frequently asked questions
Does the hydrophilic coating improve patient comfort?
Yes. The catheter features a high-performance hydrophilic polymer coating that provides exceptional lubricity. This design significantly reduces friction during insertion, which helps to minimize patient irritation and discomfort.
Is this catheter designed to protect delicate tissue?
Absolutely. The drainage system utilizes large, oval eyes featuring smooth, symmetrical beveled edges. These are specifically engineered to maximize drainage flow while preventing trauma to sensitive tissue during use.
Why is a firm Coudé tip beneficial?
The firm, curved Coudé tip is specifically engineered to assist with easier navigation during insertion. This makes the catheter particularly well-suited for specialized techniques and post-operative urological care where extra control is required.
Are the materials safe for sensitive users?
Yes, this catheter is manufactured with patient safety in mind. It is guaranteed to be both DEHP-free and BPA-free, ensuring it meets clinical standards for safe, reliable use.
Does the two-way design allow for efficient drainage?
The 2-way system is designed for high efficiency, consisting of two distinct lumens:
- Drainage Lumen: Dedicated to reliable urine flow into a collection bag.
- Inflation Lumen: A separate channel connected to an external valve for controlled inflation of the 30 cc retention balloon.
How is the size of this catheter identified?
This unit is color-coded Yellow, which corresponds to the 20 Fr. size. This industry-standard color coding allows clinicians to quickly and accurately identify the catheter size at a glance.
Is the construction durable yet flexible?
Yes. The catheter shaft is constructed from natural latex, which provides the necessary structural integrity and durability. It is then coated in both silicone and a hydrophilic polymer to ensure the perfect balance between rigidity and flexibility.
Are these catheters individually prepared for medical use?
Yes, each catheter is individually wrapped to ensure it remains sterile and protected until the moment it is needed for a procedure.
Does this product contain natural rubber latex?
Yes, please note that this product is constructed from natural latex. It is an important consideration for patients or healthcare providers with known sensitivities to natural rubber latex.
What is the recommended way to store this catheter?
To maintain the integrity of the materials and the sterility of the packaging, it is recommended to keep the product in a cool, dry place until the time of use.
