Frequently asked questions
Why is a Coude olive tip recommended?
The Coude olive tip is specifically engineered to make navigation through the male urethra easier and more comfortable by providing a slightly curved design that helps guide the catheter correctly.
How does the guide strip help during use?
The guide strip is a visual aid that assists you in maintaining the proper orientation of the catheter throughout the insertion process, helping to ensure it is positioned correctly every time.
Does the material help prevent tissue irritation?
Yes, this catheter is built with fire-polished eyelets. This manufacturing process smooths out the edges of the drainage holes, which significantly reduces the risk of tissue irritation or trauma during insertion.
Is this catheter intended for multiple uses?
No, this is a sterile, single-use, disposable medical device. It is designed to be used once and then discarded to maintain the highest standards of hygiene and clinical safety for the adult user.
Is this the correct size for me?
This specific model is an 18 Fr. catheter with a 16-inch length. Please confirm your required French (Fr.) size with your healthcare provider to ensure it meets your specific clinical needs.
Is this product sterile upon arrival?
Yes, the product is provided in a sterile, peel-pouch sleeve. This ensures that the device remains clean and protected from the moment it is manufactured until the seal is broken for use.
Does this catheter come with any setup requirements?
The catheter arrives ready to use in sterile packaging. Because it is uncoated, you may need to use a water-soluble lubricant of your choice to ensure smooth insertion according to your healthcare provider’s recommendations.
Is the catheter made of flexible PVC?
Yes, it is constructed from medical-grade, uncoated PVC. This material is chosen for its balance of flexibility and reliability, allowing for manageable navigation while maintaining the integrity of the tube during use.
How can I easily identify this size?
The catheter features a red-coded funnel end. This color-coding is a standard industry indicator that helps you quickly identify the size (18 Fr.) at a glance, especially useful for those who use multiple types of catheters.
What is the primary benefit of the PVC construction?
The uncoated PVC construction provides a firm yet flexible structure that is highly reliable for medical catheterization. It is specifically designed to perform consistently in a professional, clinical, or home-care setting.
