High-quality intermittent catheters designed for quick and easy self-catheterization
Manufactured from clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP)

Frequently asked questions

Does the hydrophilic coating provide a smooth insertion?

Yes, the high-performance hydrophilic coating, composed of PVP and NaCl, binds water to the surface to create a virtually frictionless insertion experience. By activating the coating with the included sterile water packet, you ensure a consistently slippery surface for maximum comfort.

Is the activation process fast and convenient?

Absolutely. The integrated sterile water packet is designed for efficiency:

Activation: Simply fold the package to burst the internal packet.
Speed: The coating is fully activated and ready for use in just 30 seconds.
Mess-free: The entire activation process happens inside the sealed packaging.

How does the design protect against urethral trauma?

Patient comfort is a priority in this design. The catheter features polished, staggered eyelets that are engineered to reduce friction and minimize the risk of urethral trauma or bacterial introduction during the insertion process.

Can I use this for hygienic self-catheterization in public?

Yes, the packaging is thoughtfully engineered for on-the-go use. It includes:

Adhesive strip: Allows you to attach the pack to flat surfaces.
Loop cutout: Enables you to hang the package on hooks or handles.
These features allow for a hands-free, sterile setup even in public restrooms or while traveling.

Are harmful chemicals or latex used in the material?

No, safety is central to the construction of this catheter. It is explicitly free from:

Natural rubber latex
DEHP and DINP
BPA

Is the funnel end easy to grip?

Yes, the funnel end is specifically designed with a ridged surface. This tactile, grip-friendly texture provides users with superior control and stability during the insertion and handling process.

Is this length appropriate for female anatomy?

Yes, this specific model is a 6-inch length, which is precisely optimized for female intermittent catheterization, providing the ideal balance between ease of handling and functional length.

Should I be aware of any potential allergies?

While the product is designed for safe usage, it does contain polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Individuals with a known sensitivity or allergy to PVP should exercise caution and consult with their healthcare provider before use.

Is there anything required to prepare this catheter?

No assembly is required. The catheter is ready to use immediately upon activating the internal water packet. Because it is a single-use, sterile device, it is designed to be disposed of immediately following your procedure.

How can I easily identify the correct size?

The product follows a standard color-coded system. The funnel end and product labels are color-coded white, which helps you quickly verify that you are selecting the correct 12 Fr. size for your needs.
