Frequently Asked Questions
What is the diameter of the catheter?
▾
The catheter has a 14 French (approximately 4.7 mm) diameter, which is a common size for adult intermittent self-catheterization. This dimension provides enough rigidity for easy navigation while remaining small enough to minimize discomfort during insertion and removal. It fits most standard catheter kits and is compatible with most drainage bags.
Does the catheter contain latex?
▾
No, the Self-CathSoft catheter is completely latex-free. It is manufactured from medical-grade silicone and other hypoallergenic materials, making it safe for users with latex sensitivities. The latex-free construction also reduces the risk of allergic reactions during repeated use, which is especially important for daily self-catheterization routines.
How should the catheter be stored before use?
▾
Store the catheter in its original sealed pouch at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it in a dry environment and avoid exposure to moisture that could compromise sterility. Once opened, use the catheter within the recommended time frame indicated on the packaging, typically within 24 hours.
Is the catheter suitable for long-term daily use?
▾
The catheter is designed for intermittent, short-term drainage and can be used daily if proper hygiene is maintained. Its soft silicone tip and fire-polished eyelet help reduce irritation, but for continuous long-term catheterization many clinicians recommend reusable silicone catheters that can be sterilized and reinserted repeatedly.
Can the catheter be used with standard drainage bags?
▾
Yes, the Self-CathSoft catheter connects easily to most standard urinary drainage bags via its compatible connector. The transparent tubing allows you to monitor urine flow, and the funnel-end tip promotes efficient drainage into the bag. Ensure the bag’s inlet size matches the catheter’s connector for a secure fit.
