Description

McKesson Intermittent Catheter with Hydrophilic Coating
High-quality intermittent catheters designed for quick and easy self-catheterization
Manufactured from clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP)
Indicated for intermittent catheterization of the urethra for those individuals who are unable to promote a natural urine flow or for those individuals who have a significant volume of residual urine following a natural bladder-voiding episode
Designed to be inserted into the urethra to reach the bladder allowing urine to drain
Pre-lubricated coating made of PVP and NaCL absorbs and binds water to the hydrophilic catheter, resulting in a thick, smooth and slippery surface for comfort and ease of use without requiring additional lubricant
Included sterile water packet conveniently bursts by folding inside unopen catheter pack to activate the hydrophilic coating in just 30 seconds with no mess and maintained sterility
Staggered eyes for maximum urine flow
Polished eyes minimize urethral trauma and reduce the risk of bringing bacteria into the bladder
Standard coudé features tapered tip designed with a short, strong curve; ideal for navigating through tight strictures
Features raised ridge on funnel and blue guide stripe printed on catheter shaft to help accurately orient the catheter ensuring the curved tip is pointing upwards
Especially ideal for male patients with an enlarged prostate, or females who have developed obstructions; curved tip allows catheter to pass that tight spot with ease
Flexible funnel end with ridged design for grip and ease of handling
Color-coded funnel and packaging label for easy identification of french size
Packaging design includes loop cutout for hanging to maintain sterility
Enhanced packaging design features adhesive for convenient use in any environment allowing user to hang the catheter pack on a wall, mirror, stall door, or other available surface to maintain sterility during activation, personal cleansing, and application
CAUTION: THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS POLYVINYLPYRROLIDONE WHICH MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC REACTIONS
Individually packaged for single, sterile use
Not made with DEHP, DINP, BPA, or natural rubber latex
Packaged: 30 Each Per Box, 10 Boxes Per Case

Frequently asked questions

Does this catheter require external lubricant?

No, additional lubricant is not required. The catheter features a hydrophilic coating that becomes slippery and friction-free when activated by the integrated sterile water packet.

How quickly can I activate the coating?

The coating is activated rapidly. By using the integrated sterile water packet, the surface becomes fully lubricated in just 30 seconds.

Is the coudé tip helpful for obstructions?

Yes. The tapered, curved coudé tip is specifically engineered to navigate around tight strictures, enlarged prostates, or other urethral obstructions, making it ideal for male catheterization.

How do I ensure the tip is aligned correctly?

To help you orient the curved tip correctly during insertion, the catheter includes:

A blue guide stripe on the shaft.
A raised ridge on the funnel.

Are the eyelets designed to prevent irritation?

Yes, the catheter features polished, staggered eyelets. This design is specifically intended to minimize trauma to the urethra and reduce the risk of bacterial infection.

Is the material safe for those with latex allergies?

Absolutely. This catheter is not made with natural rubber latex. Furthermore, it is formulated to be free from DEHP, DINP, and BPA.

Does the packaging support sterile preparation?

Yes. The packaging is designed for hygiene and ease of use:

Includes a loop cutout and an adhesive strip so you can hang the package during preparation.
Maintains a sterile environment until the moment of application.

Is this product suitable for daily use?

This is a single-use, sterile-packaged device designed for intermittent self-catheterization. It is sold in boxes of 30, making it convenient for ongoing personal care needs.

What materials are used for the coating?

The shaft is constructed from clear, flexible PVC and finished with a hydrophilic coating consisting of polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP) and sodium chloride, which absorbs water to provide a smooth, frictionless experience.

Are there any specific safety precautions to note?

While the materials are generally well-tolerated, please note that the coating contains polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, which may cause allergic reactions in some sensitive individuals.
