- DEHP

How does the design improve user comfort?

How can I easily identify the correct size?

Are these catheters individually sterile?
Yes, every catheter is individually packaged for single, sterile use. The packaging also includes a convenient integrated loop cutout, which allows you to hang the package easily while maintaining the sterility of the device until it is ready for use.
Is this product suitable for hospital and home use?
Absolutely. This catheter is a high-quality medical device suitable for a wide range of environments, including:
- Clinical and hospital settings (often used for collecting sterile urine samples)
- Personal home-care settings for daily self-catheterization routines
What is the recommended storage for this product?
To maintain the integrity of the sterile packaging and the quality of the device, it is recommended that you store the catheters in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct heat or humidity.
Is the straight-tip design appropriate for self-catheterization?
The straight-tip design is specifically optimized for patients who manage their own catheterization routines, offering a straightforward and reliable structure that is highly effective for those who are independent in their bladder management.
Are there any precautions I should know about?
The most important safety precaution is that this product is intended for single-use only. Please do not attempt to reuse or resterilize the catheter, as it is designed for a one-time, sterile application to ensure maximum hygiene and patient safety.
