Frequently asked questions
Does this catheter need extra lubrication?
No, it does not. The catheter features a hydrophilic coating that activates in just 30 seconds using an integrated sterile water packet, creating a smooth surface for comfortable insertion.
Is this model suitable for an enlarged prostate?
Yes, this catheter is specifically engineered with a coudé tip, which has a short, strong curve designed to help navigate through tight strictures or obstructions like an enlarged prostate.
Is the catheter made with latex?
No, it is not made with natural rubber latex. Additionally, it is free from DEHP, DINP, and BPA, making it a suitable choice for users with those specific sensitivities.
How do I ensure the tip is positioned correctly?
The catheter includes a blue guide stripe and a raised funnel ridge, which help you maintain accurate orientation of the curved tip during the insertion process.
Is the catheter safe to use at home?
Yes, it is designed for convenient self-catheterization. The packaging includes a loop cutout and adhesive so you can hang the pack on most surfaces, keeping it sterile and mess-free in non-clinical environments.
Are there any specific allergy warnings to be aware of?
While the device is latex-free, it does contain polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Please use caution if you have a known history of allergic reactions to this material.
Can I use this for both men and women?
This specific catheter is designed for male usage, primarily due to the coudé tip configuration which is meant to navigate the male anatomy.
Will the eyelets cause discomfort during insertion?
The catheter features polished, staggered eyelets that are designed to minimize trauma to sensitive tissue and reduce the risk of irritation or bacterial contamination.
How quickly is the catheter ready to use?
Once you burst the integrated water packet by folding the package, the hydrophilic coating is fully activated in 30 seconds.
How many catheters are included in a box?
Each box contains 30 individual, sterile-packaged catheters.
