Frequently Asked Questions
What is the recommended insertion technique for the 61492025-Case Dover PVC Urethral Catheter 10 Fr 16?
▾

Does the catheter require lubrication before use?
▾
Lubrication is not mandatory because the smooth PVC tip is designed to glide easily, but applying a thin layer of sterile, water-based lubricant can enhance comfort for patients with sensitive urethras or when insertion resistance is felt.

When kept in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, an unopened pouch retains its sterility for up to three years from the date of manufacture, as indicated on the packaging label.
