Coloplast SpeedicathFemale Intermittent Catheter, Straight, Lubricated, Sterile, PVC, 8Fr, 6 L

What is 6228508-Each Coloplast SpeedicathFemale Intermittent Catheter, Straight, Lubricated, Sterile, PVC, 8Fr, 6 L?

The 6228508-Each Coloplast Speedicath Female Intermittent Catheter is a single-use, straight catheter engineered for women who practice intermittent catheterization. Constructed from medical-grade PVC, the catheter measures 8 French (approximately 2.7 mm) in diameter and holds 6 L of sterile fluid, providing a reliable conduit for bladder drainage. Each unit is pre-lubricated with a hydrophilic coating that activates on contact with moisture, minimizing friction and reducing the risk of urethral trauma during insertion.

Packaged in a sealed, tamper-evident pouch, the catheter remains sterile until the moment of use, complying with ISO 13485 standards for medical devices. At $65.93 per unit, it offers a cost-effective solution for home health programs, outpatient clinics, and long-term care facilities that require consistent, high-quality supplies. The catheter’s smooth interior surface supports rapid urine flow, helping to prevent back-pressure and reduce infection risk.

How does 6228508-Each Coloplast SpeedicathFemale Intermittent Catheter, Straight, Lubricated, Sterile, PVC, 8Fr, 6 L compare?

Compared with standard polypropylene catheters, the Speedicath’s PVC construction and hydrophilic coating deliver smoother insertion and lower trauma rates. Unlike reusable silicone models, this single-use catheter eliminates the need for re-sterilization, reducing handling errors. Its 8 Fr size offers a balance between flow rate and patient comfort that many larger-gauge catheters cannot match. Proper technique involves washing hands, applying a sterile drape, and gently advancing the catheter until urine flows. Because the catheter is pre-lubricated, no additional gel is required, simplifying the procedure and shortening the time needed for each drainage session. Users report reduced discomfort and quicker recovery compared with non-coated alternatives. After use, the catheter can be disposed of in a biohazard container, meeting regulatory waste guidelines and minimizing environmental exposure. It is compatible with standard drainage bags.
