Frequently asked questions
Does the hydrophilic coating help reduce friction during insertion?
Yes, the catheter is engineered with a hydrophilic surface coating using polyvinyl pyrrolidone and sodium chloride. This formulation creates a consistently slippery surface that is specifically designed to minimize tissue irritation and significantly reduce friction during insertion for improved patient comfort.
Is everything needed for a sterile procedure included?
The Simpro tray is designed as a complete, ready-to-use solution. Each sterile tray includes all necessary components for a hygienic procedure, including:
- A 16 Fr. intermittent catheter
- Synthetic rubber gloves
- An antiseptic cleaning prep pad (PVP)
- A protective underpad
Is this catheter suitable for single-use applications?
Yes, this product is strictly intended for single-use applications. The sterile tray format ensures that you maintain high hygiene standards for every catheterization session.
Does the catheter design allow for secure placement without a balloon?
This model is specifically designed without a balloon, making it ideal for intermittent catheterization needs where a non-retaining style is required for standard urine collection.
What material is used to construct the catheter?
The catheter is constructed from high-quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chosen for its flexibility and reliability during medical use.
How long is the catheter tube?
The catheter features a standard length of 16 inches, providing the reach necessary for male catheterization requirements.
Does the prep pad contain effective antiseptic agents?
