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 Gentlecath require additional lubricant?

No, the Gentlecath does not need extra lubricant. The hydrophilic coating is activated by the included sterile water sachet, providing full lubrication upon contact, ensuring smooth insertion without added steps or materials.

How do you use the water sachet with this catheter?

Squeeze the water sachet to break the internal seal, then massage it against the catheter inside the packaging. This hydrates the hydrophilic coating within seconds, preparing it for immediate, smooth insertion.

Is the 51509009-Box Gentlecath sterile?

Yes, each catheter is individually sealed in sterile packaging. It remains sterile until opened, ensuring safe, hygienic use for intermittent catheterization without risk of contamination.
