Frequently asked questions
Does the hydrophilic coating provide instant lubrication?
Yes, the hydrophilic coating is designed for immediate activation upon contact with water. This ensures fast, clean, and reliable lubrication, which helps significantly reduce friction during insertion for a more comfortable experience.
Is the gripzone effective for handling?
The catheter features a dedicated uncoated gripzone specifically engineered to provide superior control. This ensures you maintain a secure, non-slip hold on the device even while the rest of the catheter is fully lubricated.
Are the eyelets designed for patient comfort?
Yes, the distal end features two fire-polished, staggered eyelets. The fire-polishing process ensures the edges are exceptionally smooth to minimize tissue trauma, while the staggered placement is optimized for efficient fluid drainage.
Is this catheter suitable for adult male use?
This product is specifically designed for adult male users. At a length of 16 inches, it provides the appropriate reach and dimensions required for intermittent self-catheterization in adult males.
Does the material offer high-quality construction?
The catheter is manufactured from high-quality, medical-grade PVC. This material is selected for its flexibility, structural integrity, and uniform diameter, ensuring a professional and reliable user experience.
What is the best way to activate the coating?
To activate the hydrophilic properties, simply expose the catheter to water. Please note that no water packet is included with this product, so you should ensure a clean source of water is readily available prior to use.
Is the catheter sterile and safe for use?
Yes, every unit is sterile and disposable. It is intended for single-use to ensure optimal hygiene and to prevent the risk of infection associated with re-using urological medical devices.
How does the straight tip design benefit me?
The straight tip is a standard design choice favored for its ease of insertion. Combined with the rounded, clear finish of the distal end, it is engineered for smooth navigation and atraumatic entry.
Is the 18 French size standard for this device?
Yes, this specific model comes in a 18 Fr. (French) gauge. It is a standardized configuration optimized for consistent performance and drainage efficiency.
Does this product require special storage instructions?
As a medical-grade device, it should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Because it is a sterile, disposable item, it is recommended to keep the packaging intact until the moment of use to maintain its sterility.
