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

Is the catheter free of harmful plasticizers?

Yes, for your safety, this product is constructed from materials that are not made with DEHP, DINP, or BPA, providing a cleaner material profile for long-term use.

Does the packaging assist with sterile handling?

The packaging is highly user-centric, featuring an adhesive strip and a loop cutout. This allows you to mount or hang the package on various surfaces, keeping the catheter sterile and easily accessible during the entire activation and application process.

Does the hydrophilic coating eliminate needing extra lubricant?

Yes, this catheter features an integrated internal sterile water packet that activates the coating in just 30 seconds. This process creates a smooth, slippery, low-friction surface without requiring any supplemental lubricants.

Is this design effective for navigating tight urethral strictures?

Absolutely. It features an advanced Coudé tip with a tapered, curved design. This specialized geometry is specifically engineered to navigate around obstructions like tight urethral strictures or enlarged prostates effectively.

Are the drainage eyelets designed to prevent trauma?

Yes, the catheter is designed with polished, staggered eyelets. These are precision-finished to ensure maximum urine flow while minimizing the risk of irritation or trauma to the urethral tissue during insertion and removal.

Can I easily orient the Coudé tip during use?

Yes, proper orientation is made simple through two specific design features: 1) a blue guide stripe running along the catheter shaft, and 2) a raised ridge on the funnel end, helping you ensure the tip is positioned correctly.

Is this product suitable for those with latex allergies?

Yes. This catheter is manufactured to be not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for individuals who have latex sensitivities or allergies.

How quickly is the catheter ready for use?

Activation is very efficient. Simply fold the package to burst the internal water packet, and the catheter is fully lubricated and ready for use in just 30 seconds.

Is the material durable yet comfortable?

The catheter is constructed from high-quality, flexible PVC that balances the necessary rigidity for insertion with the comfort required for daily use, while the PVP/NaCl hydrophilic coating significantly reduces friction.

Are there any specific medical materials I should be aware of?

While the materials are medical-grade, please note that the coating contains polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). If you have a known history of sensitivity to this substance, please consult with your healthcare provider before use.
