Frequently asked questions
Does this catheter require special preparation?
No, it is designed for immediate use. The hydrophilic coating is engineered to hydrate instantly, providing a smooth surface that minimizes friction during insertion and withdrawal to enhance patient comfort.
Is everything needed for a sterile procedure included?
Yes, each tray is a comprehensive kit designed for aseptic application. It comes with:
- 1 SpeediCath Straight Tip Catheter (18 Fr.)
- 1 Pair of gloves
- 1 Drape
- 2 Iodine prep pads
Why is the hydrophilic coating important?
The hydrophilic coating on the polyurethane surface is critical because it significantly reduces friction. This helps protect the urethra from trauma and makes the process much more comfortable compared to non-coated catheters.
Is this kit suitable for home use?
