Frequently asked questions
Why is the coude tip recommended?
The Coude (Tiemann) tip is specifically curved to help navigate past obstructions or irregularities in the male urethra, making it a better choice if you have experienced difficulty advancing straight-tip catheters.
Does this catheter come pre-lubricated?
This catheter features an advanced hydrophilic coating designed to minimize friction. Please note that an external hydration source is required to activate this coating before use.
Is this catheter suitable for all male users?
This model is designed for adult male use. Because this is a 16 Fr. catheter with a Coude tip, you should consult with your healthcare professional to ensure this specific size and tip style are correct for your unique anatomy and medical needs.
What is the benefit of the hydrophilic coating?
The proprietary coating creates a low-friction interface with the urethral mucosa. This significantly reduces the risk of irritation or trauma during insertion and removal compared to standard non-coated PVC catheters.
Can I reuse these catheters?
No, these are single-use, sterile devices. They must be discarded immediately after one use to maintain hygiene and prevent infection.
What should I use to activate the coating?
Since a water packet is not included with this product, you should use sterile water or a sterile saline solution to activate the hydrophilic coating effectively prior to insertion.
Why are there two eyelets on the tip?
The catheter features two smooth, staggered eyelets. This design is specifically engineered to ensure efficient and consistent drainage while maintaining user safety and comfort during the process.
How do I identify the size of this catheter?
This specific product is 16 Fr., which is color-coded orange for easy identification. This standardized coloring allows you to quickly distinguish the size in a clinical or home care setting.
How many catheters are included in a purchase?
The order includes one full case, which contains 4 boxes with 30 catheters per box, totaling 120 catheters.
Are these catheters comfortable for daily use?
Yes, they are designed for routine use in both clinical and home settings. The combination of the hydrophilic coating and smooth eyelets is specifically meant to provide a comfortable, low-trauma experience for daily intermittent catheterization.
