Frequently asked questions
Why is the coude tip recommended?
The coude tip is specifically curved to help navigate the male urethra more effectively, making it an excellent choice for individuals dealing with urethral strictures or an enlarged prostate.
How do I activate the hydrophilic coating?
Activation is simple and designed for convenience. Each catheter includes an integrated water packet inside the packaging. Simply pop or squeeze the packet to hydrate the coating, ensuring the catheter is ready for a smooth, low-friction insertion.
Is this catheter suitable for daily use?
Yes, it is designed for intermittent catheterization. However, please note that it is a single-use, disposable device and must be discarded after each use to maintain sterility and safety.
Does the coating help reduce irritation?
Absolutely. The hydrophilic coating is made of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and sodium chloride. When activated, it creates a very slick, low-friction surface that is specifically designed to minimize trauma and irritation to the urethral mucosa during insertion.
Is this product sterile?
Yes, the Simpro Now Urethral Catheter is provided sterile and is intended for single-use to ensure optimal hygiene.
Can this be used by women?
No, this specific product is configured exclusively for adult male use due to the specific length and the design of the coude tip.
Are the drainage eyelets smooth?
Yes, the catheter features two smooth eyelets at the distal end. These are engineered to provide effective drainage while maintaining a gentle, non-irritating surface for the user.
What is the catheter length?
This model is 16 inches long, which is the standard length designed for adult male use.
Is the material flexible?
The catheter is constructed from high-quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which provides the necessary balance of flexibility for comfortable insertion and enough rigidity for controlled handling.
How can I identify this size easily?
This catheter is color-coded red, which corresponds to the 18 Fr. sizing standard, helping you quickly identify the correct diameter among other supplies.
