Frequently asked questions
Does the tip design assist with navigation?
Yes, this catheter features a Coude olive tip. This specialized design includes a slight curvature at the distal end, which is engineered to help navigate around obstructions or strictures in the male urethra more effectively than a standard straight-tip catheter.
Is the material comfortable for frequent use?
The catheter is constructed from high-quality, medical-grade uncoated PVC. To maximize patient comfort, it features fire-polished eyelets that are designed to reduce friction and minimize trauma to delicate tissue during both insertion and withdrawal.
What is the primary use for this catheter?
This device is designed for intermittent urinary catheterization. It is specifically tailored for adult male patients who may face anatomical challenges that require a curved tip for easier access and safe drainage.
How do I ensure the tip is positioned correctly?
The catheter includes an integrated longitudinal guide strip that runs along the length of the tubing. This feature allows you to easily identify the direction of the tip’s curvature, ensuring proper orientation during insertion.
Is this product safe for a sterile environment?
Yes, this is a sterile, disposable medical device. It is intended for single-use applications in either clinical or home environments to ensure the highest standards of hygiene and safety for the user.
What is the specific diameter of this model?
This model has a diameter of 8 French (Fr.), which is a standard size for adult intermittent catheterization requirements.
How long is the catheter tubing?
The catheter features a standard 16-inch length, providing sufficient reach for adult male anatomy during the intermittent catheterization process.
Is this catheter coated with any lubricants?
No, this specific model is a non-hydrophilic, uncoated PVC catheter. It provides a reliable and standard intermittent catheterization experience.
Is this suitable for adult male users?
Yes, this product is specifically engineered for the anatomy of adult male users, particularly those requiring assistance navigating past urethral strictures or other anatomical needs.
Are the eyelets smooth to prevent irritation?
Yes, the eyelets are fire-polished. This manufacturing process ensures the edges are completely smooth, creating a seamless transition against the catheter wall to reduce friction and irritation against urethral tissue.
