Frequently asked questions
Is this catheter safe for latex allergies?
Yes, the TruCath Swift is explicitly not made with natural rubber latex. It is also free from DEHP, BPA, and other harmful phthalates, making it a safe choice for users with sensitivities.
Does this require extra lubricant before use?
No, this is a ready-to-use catheter. It comes pre-lubricated with lubricant distributed along the entire tube and additional lubricant stored within the grip, saving you time and preparation steps.
How do I ensure a secure grip during use?
The catheter features the TruProtect grip, which is an oversized handle with raised grip lines. This design provides a stable hold and helps minimize the risk of cross-contamination during insertion.
Will this cause tissue trauma during insertion?
The TruCath Swift is engineered for comfort with heat-polished eyelets and a smooth surface. These features are specifically designed to ensure smooth insertion and withdrawal while minimizing the risk of tissue trauma.
Is this catheter suitable for female use?
No, this specific catheter is designed for male patients. It features a 16-inch length suited for male urethral catheterization.
Can I reuse this catheter?
No, this catheter is strictly for single-use/disposable purposes. It should be discarded immediately after use to maintain hygiene and safety.
Is this a hydrophilic catheter?
No, this is a non-hydrophilic catheter. It uses a pre-applied lubricant coating rather than requiring water-based activation, offering immediate readiness.
How do I quickly identify the size?
You can easily identify the size by the color-coded funnel end. For this specific 16 Fr. model, the funnel is color-coded orange.
Is the packaging difficult to open?
The catheter is packaged in an easy-open, ring-pull pouch, designed specifically to be user-friendly and accessible during the catheterization process.
Does it have standard eyelets?
Yes, it features two opposing heat-polished eyelets. These are designed to allow for effective drainage while maintaining a smooth profile to prevent irritation.
