Frequently asked questions
Does this catheter require special preparation before use?
Yes, this is a hydrophilic catheter. Because it does not come with an integrated water packet, you will need to activate the coating by wetting the catheter according to your medical provider’s instructions to ensure it becomes fully lubricated for smooth insertion.
Is the olive tip better for male anatomy?
Yes, the coude olive tip is specifically designed to help navigate the male urethra. Its curved shape is engineered to bypass obstructions or tight angles, making it a common choice for patients who require assistance with navigation during self-catheterization.
What is the benefit of the staggered eyelets?
The catheter features two staggered side eyelets. This design is optimized to maintain consistent urine flow and significantly reduce the risk of the eyelets becoming blocked or clogged during use.
Are these catheters meant for multiple uses?
No, this product is strictly for single-use, disposable applications. It is designed to be used once and then discarded to maintain optimal hygiene and reduce the risk of infection.
Is this catheter suitable for a 14 Fr. requirement?
Yes, this model is a 14 Fr. catheter, which is the standard size for this specific product configuration. Please ensure this size matches the prescription or recommendations provided by your healthcare professional.
Is the material comfortable for insertion?
The catheter is made from high-quality PVC with a hydrophilic coating. Once activated with water, this coating creates a very smooth, lubricious surface that minimizes friction and helps improve comfort during insertion.

The catheter shaft is 16 inches long, providing the standard length typically required for male adult use.
Is this a sterile product?

Can this be used by anyone?
