What is 6228416-Box Coloplast SpeedicathMale Intermittent Catheter, Straight, Pre-Lubricated, Hydrophilic Coated, Sterile, Latex-Free, 16Fr, 14 L?

The 6228416-Box Coloplast Speedicath Male Intermittent Catheter is a single-use, straight catheter engineered for clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) in men. It comes sterile, pre-lubricated, and coated with a hydrophilic polymer that activates with water to create a slick surface, reducing insertion force and urethral trauma. At 16 French (approximately 5.3 mm) and 14 cm length, it fits most adult male urethras while remaining short enough for easy handling. The latex-free construction eliminates common allergens, and the packaging meets ISO-13485 standards for medical devices. Priced at $65.93 per box, it offers a cost-effective solution for daily bladder management. The catheter’s design also incorporates a tapered tip that eases navigation through the urethra, further reducing discomfort during insertion.

Compared with standard polypropylene catheters, the Speedicath’s hydrophilic coating provides smoother insertion and less urethral irritation. Unlike reusable silicone tubes, it eliminates the need for re-sterilization, reducing handling errors. Its 16 Fr diameter balances flow efficiency with comfort, whereas larger-gauge catheters may cause more stretch. In the price range of $60-70 per box, it delivers premium comfort without the expense of specialty-grade devices.
