High-quality intermittent catheters designed for quick and easy self-catheterization

Frequently asked questions

Does this catheter require additional lubricant?

No, it does not. The catheter features a built-in hydrophilic coating that activates when you burst the included sterile water packet. This creates a slippery, lubricated surface for smooth, frictionless insertion without the need for extra gel.

How long does it take to activate the coating?

The hydrophilic coating activates very quickly. Once you burst the internal water packet, the catheter is ready for use in just 30 seconds.

Is this safe for people with latex allergies?

Yes, this product is not made with natural rubber latex. It is also free of DEHP, DINP, and BPA, making it a safe option for users with common sensitivities.

Can I use this for hands-free, sterile preparation?

Yes. The packaging includes an adhesive strip and a hanging loop, allowing you to mount the package securely to a surface like a mirror or door. This design helps you maintain a clean, hands-free environment during preparation.

Yes, it features polished, staggered eyelets. This design is specifically engineered to minimize urethral trauma and irritation during insertion and withdrawal.
