Frequently asked questions
Does this catheter require external lubricant?
No, it is not necessary to use additional lubricant. This catheter features advanced hydrophilic surface technology that becomes naturally slippery once activated with the included water packet, significantly reducing friction during insertion.
Is the coude tip better for male patients?
Yes, the ergonomic coude tip is specifically curved to assist with navigation through the male urethra. This design helps maneuver past anatomical curves more effectively, ensuring a safer and more comfortable catheterization process.
How do I activate the hydrophilic coating?
Activation is quick and convenient:
- Locate the included water activation packet within the packaging.
- Apply the water to the catheter surface according to the instructions.
- The hydrophilic layer (polyvinyl pyrrolidone and sodium chloride) will hydrate, creating a smooth surface ready for use.
Is this catheter suitable for single-use only?
Yes, the Simpro Now catheter is strictly sterile and for single-use application only. It must be disposed of after each use to maintain proper hygiene and safety.
How do I ensure a steady grip during insertion?
The product includes a sliding blue grip positioned along the shaft. This feature allows for controlled handling and helps you maintain a steady grip during insertion, minimizing contact with the tube itself.
Is this 14 Fr. size appropriate for me?
The 14 Fr. diameter and 16-inch length are specifically tailored to meet the needs of adult male anatomy. If you are unsure about the size, please consult your healthcare provider to confirm this matches your prescribed requirements.
Are there multiple drainage points for better flow?
Yes, the catheter is equipped with two smooth eyelets at the distal end. These are designed to ensure consistent and efficient drainage during use.
