Frequently asked questions
Does the coating require a specific activation solution?
No, the hydrophilic coating is activated instantly by simple tap water. You just need to expose the catheter to water before use to ensure a smooth, low-friction insertion.
Is this catheter suitable for pediatric use?
Yes, this model is specifically designed with a 10-inch length and 8 Fr. size, making it an ideal choice for pediatric patients or users requiring a shorter catheter length.
Will the catheter be slippery to handle?
Not at all. While the shaft is lubricated for comfort, the catheter features a dedicated uncoated gripzone. This allows you to maintain total control and stability during the insertion process without the device slipping in your hands.
How does the tip design minimize potential trauma?
The catheter is engineered with two fire-polished, staggered eyelets. These eyelets are precision-finished to ensure they are smooth and non-abrasive, significantly reducing the risk of irritation during insertion.
Does this package include a water packet?
No, the package does not include a water packet. You will need to have an independent water source available to activate the hydrophilic coating before use.
Is the catheter intended for multiple uses?
No, the Coloplast Self-Cath Plus is strictly for single-use (disposable) applications. It is provided in sterile packaging to ensure hygiene and safety for every individual catheterization.
What material is this catheter made from?
It is constructed from flexible, medical-grade PVC. This material is chosen for its balance of structural integrity and comfort, ensuring the tube is firm enough for navigation but gentle enough for the user.
Is this a straight or coudé tip?

How do I identify the size of this catheter?

Is this catheter latex-free?
