Frequently Asked Questions
What is a coude tip catheter used for?
▾
A coude tip catheter has a curved tip to help navigate past obstructions like an enlarged prostate. It's commonly used in male patients with urethral strictures or BPH, making insertion easier and less traumatic than with straight-tip catheters.
Does the hydrophilic coating require preparation?
▾
Yes, the hydrophilic coating must be activated with water before use. Simply add clean water to the pouch and let the catheter soak for a few seconds. This hydrates the surface, creating a slippery layer for smooth insertion.
How does the guide strip help during use?
▾
The guide strip aligns the catheter during insertion, helping maintain proper direction and reducing the risk of false passages. It improves control, especially for new users or those with limited dexterity.
Is the 764812-Each Coloplast catheter latex-free?
▾
Yes, this catheter is completely latex-free, making it safe for individuals with latex allergies or sensitivities. It's made from medical-grade materials designed to minimize irritation and allergic reactions.
Can I reuse this intermittent catheter?
▾
No, this is a single-use, sterile catheter designed for one-time use only. Reusing it increases the risk of infection and compromises the hydrophilic coating’s effectiveness. Always use a new catheter for each session.
