Frequently asked questions
Does this catheter require extra lubricant?
No additional lubricant is needed. The catheter features a hydrophilic coating that, once activated by the included sterile water packet, creates a slippery, smooth surface for comfortable insertion.
How quickly is the catheter ready to use?
The catheter is ready for use in just 30 seconds. You simply burst the internal sterile water packet by folding the package to activate the coating.
Is this product safe for latex-sensitive users?
Yes, this catheter is not made with natural rubber latex. Additionally, it is free from BPA and phthalates like DEHP and DINP for added safety.
How does the packaging help maintain sterility?
The packaging features an adhesive tab and loop cutout, allowing you to hang the pouch on a vertical surface (such as a wall or mirror) to keep it sterile and accessible while you prepare for use.
Are the eyelets designed to reduce irritation?
Yes, the catheter features polished, staggered eyelets. This design helps to maximize urine flow while significantly minimizing the risk of urethral trauma during insertion and removal.
Are there any known material sensitivities?

Can I easily handle the catheter during use?
Yes, the catheter is designed with a flexible, ridged funnel that provides a secure, ergonomic grip for easier handling and maneuvering during the process.
Is this catheter suitable for both men and women?
Yes, this product is designed for unisex/adult use.
How can I quickly identify the catheter size?
The funnel is color-coded, which helps users and caregivers quickly and accurately identify the French size (18 Fr.) at a glance.
Is this a single-use product?
