Frequently asked questions

Does the curved tip help with difficult insertions?

Yes, this catheter features a standard coudé tip specifically engineered with a short, strong curve. This design is highly effective for navigating through urethral strictures, making it an excellent choice for individuals with obstructions or an enlarged prostate.

Is this catheter safe for patients with sensitivities?

Absolutely. This device is constructed from high-quality, medical-grade PVC and is explicitly manufactured without the use of:

  • DEHP
  • DINP
  • BPA
  • Natural rubber latex
How can I ensure the tip is oriented correctly?

The catheter is designed with user-friendly orientation aids:

  • Blue guide stripe: Runs along the shaft to indicate the direction of the curve.
  • Raised funnel ridge: Helps you maintain the correct orientation of the tip while holding the catheter during insertion.
Are the eyelets designed to prevent trauma?

Yes, the catheter features polished, staggered eyelets. This design is specifically engineered to:

  1. Maximize urine flow efficiency.
  2. Minimize the risk of urethral trauma during insertion.
  3. Reduce the potential for bacterial contamination.
Is the material flexible enough for comfortable use?

Yes, the catheter is made from a flexible, clear PVC material that provides the necessary structural integrity for navigation while remaining pliable enough to ensure patient comfort during use.

How do I store these while keeping them sterile?

Each catheter is individually packaged and sterile. The packaging is designed with a convenient hanging loop cutout, allowing for easy and sanitary storage until the moment of use.

Is the size easy to identify?

Yes, it follows industry-standard color coding. This specific 18 Fr. catheter is equipped with a vibrant red funnel, which serves as both a secure grip point and an instant visual indicator of the French size.

Is this catheter suitable for multiple uses?

No. This product is strictly intended for single, sterile use only. It must be disposed of properly after one use to ensure patient safety and hygiene.

Does the funnel provide a secure grip?

Yes, the funnel is not only color-coded but also ridged for improved grip. This design allows for better control and handling, especially during the insertion process.
