Frequently asked questions
Is this catheter suitable for female patients?
Yes, this model is specifically engineered for female and pediatric use. Its 6-inch length is designed to accommodate female anatomy, ensuring both convenience and ease of use during intermittent self-catheterization.
How does the design ensure comfortable drainage?
The catheter features two smooth, staggered eyelets near the tip. These are polished to prevent irritation during insertion and are specifically positioned to facilitate efficient and consistent fluid drainage.
Is the catheter flexible or firm?
This model is made from firm, uncoated PVC. The firm consistency is chosen to provide better control and rigidity, which assists in accurate and steady insertion for the user.
Are these catheters individually sterilized?
Yes, each catheter is supplied in sterile, individual packaging. This ensures optimal hygiene and safety standards are maintained until the moment you are ready for use.
Can I use this for pediatric care?
Yes, the 12 French diameter and 6-inch length of this Apogee IC catheter make it an appropriate choice for both female and pediatric applications.
Does this require any special lubricant?
This is an uncoated PVC catheter. Because it does not come with a pre-applied hydrophilic coating, you will need to apply a medical-grade lubricant as recommended by your healthcare provider to ensure a comfortable insertion.
Is the material latex-free?
The Apogee IC catheter is constructed from PVC. It does not contain natural rubber latex as a component material.
What does the white connector indicate?
The white connector is the standard color code for this specific 12 Fr. catheter size. It is designed for a secure and easy connection to drainage systems if required.
Is this product designed for single-use?
Yes, this is a disposable, single-use medical device. It is intended to be used once for intermittent catheterization and then discarded to maintain sterile hygiene.
Are there multiple catheters in one package?
No, this product is sold as individual, sterile-packaged catheters. This allows you to purchase the exact quantity needed for your care routine.
