  • 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

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.
