Description

  • McKesson Intermittent Catheter with Hydrophilic Coating
  • High-quality intermittent catheters designed for quick and easy self-catheterization
  • Manufactured from clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP)
  • Indicated for intermittent catheterization of the urethra for those individuals who are unable to promote a natural urine flow or for those individuals who have a significant volume of residual urine following a natural bladder-voiding episode
  • Designed to be inserted into the urethra to reach the bladder allowing urine to drain
  • Pre-lubricated coating made of PVP and NaCL absorbs and binds water to the hydrophilic catheter, resulting in a thick, smooth and slippery surface for comfort and ease of use without requiring additional lubricant
  • Included sterile water packet conveniently bursts by folding inside unopen catheter pack to activate the hydrophilic coating in just 30 seconds with no mess and maintained sterility
  • Staggered eyes for maximum urine flow
  • Polished eyes minimize urethral trauma and reduce the risk of bringing bacteria into the bladder
  • Straight design for patients who have chronic bladder problems and able to perform the catheterization themselves
  • Common solution used to obtain urine samples for hospital or laboratory analysis
  • Flexible funnel end with ridged design for grip and ease of handling
  • Color-coded funnel and packaging label for easy identification of french size
