Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hydrophilic closed system catheter?
▾
A hydrophilic closed system catheter has a water-activated coating that becomes slippery upon contact, reducing friction. The closed design includes a protective sheath to minimize contamination, making it ideal for safe, independent catheterization with lower UTI risk.

No, the Flocath Quick uses a pre-moistened hydrophilic coating that activates instantly without adding water. This allows for immediate, clean use anywhere, making it convenient for travel or on-the-go catheterization.
How is a 10 Fr catheter different from larger sizes?
▾
A 10 Fr catheter is narrower than larger options, making it suitable for smaller urethras or low-flow drainage needs. It may drain urine more slowly than larger Fr sizes but reduces discomfort and trauma during insertion.
