Frequently asked questions
Does this catheter require external lubrication?
No, it does not require additional lubricant. The catheter features an advanced hydrophilic coating made of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and sodium chloride. When activated by the included water packet, this coating creates a slippery surface that significantly reduces friction during insertion and withdrawal.
Is the activation process difficult?
It is designed for easy, ready-to-use convenience. Each catheter includes an integrated water activation packet. Simply activate the packet to hydrate the coating, and the catheter is ready for immediate use.
How does the design protect the urethral lining?
The catheter is engineered with two smooth eyelets and a straight tip to facilitate efficient drainage. Combined with the slippery hydrophilic surface, these features are specifically designed to minimize trauma and irritation to the urethral mucosa during the catheterization process.
Can this catheter be reused?
No, this is a sterile, single-use device. It must be disposed of immediately after one use to maintain hygiene and minimize the risk of infection. Do not attempt to reuse it.
Is 10 Fr. the right size for me?
The 10 Fr. size is a specific diameter. It is essential to consult with your healthcare professional to verify that 10 Fr. is the correct size for your individual clinical needs before use.
Is this specific to men?
Yes, this catheter is specifically engineered for male anatomy, featuring the necessary 16-inch length and straight tip to ensure proper and safe usage for male patients.
Is this catheter suitable for home use?
Yes, it is designed for both clinical and at-home intermittent catheterization. It is a sterile, single-use device that provides a professional-grade experience outside of a hospital setting.
How long is this catheter?
This model is 16 inches long, which is the standard length optimized for male anatomy to ensure effective and comfortable use.
What materials are used in the coating?
The hydrophilic coating is composed of a high-performance blend of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and sodium chloride. This combination is widely used in medical devices to ensure a smooth, low-friction experience.
Does it come with everything needed to start?
Yes, each unit contains the catheter and an integrated water activation packet, providing everything you need for a single, comfortable application.
