Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hydrophilic coated catheter?
▾
A hydrophilic coated catheter has a special surface that becomes extremely slippery when hydrated, usually with sterile water. This reduces friction during insertion, making it more comfortable, especially for pediatric or sensitive users. The CQHP8-Each includes a built-in water sachet for instant activation.
Does the CQHP8-Each require additional lubrication?
▾
No, the CQHP8-Each does not need extra lubrication. The hydrophilic coating activates with the included sterile water sachet, ensuring full lubrication without mess or contamination. This makes it ideal for clean, convenient use at home or on the go.
How do you use the sterile water sachet?
▾
To use, simply press the sterile water sachet to break the internal seal, then squeeze the water into the catheter sleeve. Swirl gently to coat the catheter evenly. Wait 30 seconds for full hydration before insertion. This ensures optimal lubrication and smooth performance.
Is the CQHP8-Each safe for children with allergies?
