Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hydrophilic catheter?
▾
A hydrophilic catheter has a coating that becomes slippery when hydrated, usually with sterile water. This reduces friction during insertion, making it gentler on the urethra and lowering the risk of injury or infection compared to uncoated catheters.
Does the kit include everything needed?
▾
Yes, the kit includes the catheter, a sterile water sachet to activate the coating, and an insertion tray with a no-touch handling strip. No additional tools or lubricants are required for use.
How do you use the no-touch handling strip?
▾
After activating the catheter with the included water, use the attached strip to guide the catheter without touching it directly. This maintains sterility and reduces contamination risk during insertion.
Is this catheter reusable?
▾
No, this is a single-use, disposable catheter designed for one-time sterile application. Reuse increases infection risk and compromises the hydrophilic coating’s effectiveness.
Can this be used by women?
▾
This model is 400 mm long, designed specifically for male anatomy. Female users should choose shorter catheters (typically 200 mm) to match urethral length and ensure proper fit.
