Frequently asked questions
Does this catheter support a touchless insertion technique?
Yes, it is specifically engineered for a no-touch technique. It includes a specialized handling sheath that allows for a secure grip, which helps maintain sterility throughout the catheterization process.
Is the hydrophilic coating easy to activate?
The catheter features an integrated water packet containing 0.9% sterile saline. This allows for quick, on-demand activation of the hydrophilic coating, ensuring the surface is lubricated and ready for smooth insertion when you need it.
How does this design improve patient comfort?
Comfort is prioritized through two main design features: 1. Soft eye technology on the eyelets to prevent irritation, and 2. A gently tapered tip that facilitates a smooth and gentle insertion process.
Are the eyelets designed for effective drainage?
Yes, this catheter features 2 staggered eyelets. This configuration is designed to ensure efficient and reliable drainage during use.
Is the material safe for medical use?
The catheter is manufactured from high-quality, medical-grade PVC with a specialized hydrophilic coating, ensuring it is safe for sterile, single-use intermittent catheterization.
Is this catheter suitable for adults?
Yes, this 14 Fr. catheter is designed for adult use and is suitable for both clinical and home care settings.
How can I quickly identify the catheter size?
The catheter is equipped with a color-coded green funnel, allowing for quick and accurate size identification at a glance.
Is the length sufficient for standard use?
