Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hydrophilic intermittent catheter?

Does GentleCath Air require additional lubricant?
▾
No, GentleCath Air does not require additional lubricant. The hydrophilic coating activates with the included water sachet, providing a consistently smooth surface. This eliminates the need for messy gels and ensures even lubrication for comfortable insertion.
How do you use the water sachet with GentleCath Air?
▾
To use, open the water sachet and pour the water into the catheter packet. Let it sit for 30 seconds to fully hydrate the coating. Then remove the catheter and insert immediately. The integrated sachet makes hydration quick and clean, even without sink access.
