Frequently asked questions

Why is a coudé tip better for my needs?

The coudé tip features a specialized short curve specifically designed to help navigate past common obstructions, such as an enlarged prostate or tight urethral strictures, making insertion smoother for men with complex anatomy.

How do I ensure the curved tip is positioned correctly?

The catheter includes two helpful features for precise orientation:

A raised ridge on the funnel end for a secure grip.
A clear blue guide stripe along the shaft, which should be kept facing upward to ensure the curved tip is correctly aligned during insertion.

Are the eyelets designed to prevent irritation?

Yes, the catheter features polished, staggered eyelets. This design is specifically engineered to minimize urethral trauma during both insertion and withdrawal, promoting greater comfort during use.

Does this catheter contain latex or harsh chemicals?

No, this device is not made with natural rubber latex. Furthermore, it is manufactured without DEHP, DINP, or BPA, prioritizing material safety for the user.

Is this an uncoated catheter?

Yes, this is an uncoated PVC catheter. Because it lacks a pre-applied coating, you will need to use a medical-grade lubricant (not included) to ensure comfortable and safe insertion as per your healthcare provider’s guidance.

Can I reuse these catheters after cleaning?

No, these are strictly for single-use only. Each unit is individually sterile-packaged to ensure maximum hygiene and must be disposed of immediately after one use.

How can I quickly identify the size?

The funnel and packaging are color-coded orange, which is the universal identifier for a 16 Fr. size. This allows for quick and accurate visual identification, even in low light or when in a hurry.

Is the material flexible enough for daily use?

Yes, the catheter is constructed from high-quality, clear PVC. It is designed to be a sturdy yet flexible solution, providing the necessary balance of rigidity for controlled navigation and flexibility for comfort.

Can I store the packaging until I am ready to use it?

Yes, the packaging includes a convenient loop cutout. This allows you to hang the sterile sleeve in a clean, accessible location until you are ready to open the package for use.

Are these intended for adult male use?

Yes, this product is specifically engineered for adult male intermittent catheterization, taking into account the unique anatomical requirements of that user demographic.
