Frequently asked questions
Does the hydrophilic coating help reduce irritation?
Yes. The catheter features a hydrophilic surface coating of Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and sodium chloride. When activated by the included water packet, this creates a highly lubricious surface that significantly minimizes friction during both insertion and withdrawal for maximum patient comfort.
Why is the coude tip design beneficial?
The coude (curved) tip is specifically engineered to assist in navigating the natural anatomical curves of the male urethra, making the insertion process smoother and more effective.
Is the catheter ready to use out of the package?
Yes, it is designed for ready-to-use convenience. Each unit includes an integrated water packet that you use to activate the hydrophilic coating, ensuring the catheter is properly prepared for use quickly and efficiently.
Are the drainage eyelets designed for comfort?
Yes, the catheter is designed with two smooth eyelets at the distal end. These are carefully crafted to be non-abrasive, facilitating efficient drainage while maintaining comfort during use.
Is this catheter suitable for single-use applications?
Yes, this is a sterile, single-use, disposable medical device. It is intended to be used once and then discarded to maintain hygiene and patient safety standards.
What material is used in the construction?
The shaft is constructed from high-quality medical-grade Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), providing a balance of flexibility and structural integrity necessary for intermittent catheterization.
Does the design include features for a hygienic grip?
Yes, the catheter comes equipped with a specialized blue sleeve positioned along the upper portion of the tube. This sleeve acts as a dedicated grip point, allowing for more hygienic handling during the insertion process.
What is the standard French size of this model?
This specific variant of the Simpro Now catheter comes in a 12 Fr. size, which is a standard dimension for adult male intermittent catheterization.
Is the connector compatible with standard equipment?
The catheter features a distinct green conical connector (funnel) at the proximal end, which is designed for secure, universal attachment to drainage bags or other standard medical equipment.
How long is the catheter shaft?
This catheter measures 16 inches in length, which provides the appropriate reach for standard adult male intermittent catheterization requirements.
