Frequently asked questions
Does this catheter require manual lubrication?
No, this catheter features a ready-to-use hydrophilic coating. It is pre-activated, which means you can use it immediately without needing to apply separate lubricant.
Is the material comfortable for frequent use?
Yes, it is constructed from high-quality thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). This material is specifically chosen to provide a balance of flexibility and structural integrity, helping to facilitate smooth insertion and minimize potential urethral irritation.
Is this catheter sized specifically for women?
Yes, this catheter is engineered specifically for female anatomy. Its 7-1/2 inch length and 10 Fr. size are optimized to provide an effective solution for adult female intermittent self-catheterization.
Are these catheters sterile and safe for single use?
Absolutely. Each catheter is sterile and designed for single-use (disposable) applications. This ensures you maintain the highest standards of hygiene and safety for every use.
What is the primary benefit of the hydrophilic coating?
The hydrophilic coating creates a low-friction surface once activated. This is a key feature that helps significantly improve the ease of insertion and reduces the risk of trauma to the urethral lining.
Can I use this for long-term indwelling?
No, this device is designed specifically for intermittent, single-use catheterization. It should not be used as an indwelling catheter.
Is there anything I need to prepare before using it?
Because the hydrophilic coating is ready-to-use and pre-activated, there is no need for manual preparation, water activation, or additional lubrication. It is designed for immediate convenience.
Is this a straight-tip catheter?
Yes, this product features a straight-tip design, which is standard for many intermittent self-catheterization needs for adult female patients.
What does the 10 French gauge signify?
The 10 French (10 Fr.) measurement refers to the outer diameter of the catheter tube. This size is standard for female patients, providing an effective balance between flow rate and comfort during insertion.
Is the TPU material flexible?
Yes, the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) used in this catheter offers excellent flexibility while maintaining enough structural integrity to allow for controlled and smooth insertion.
