Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hydrophilic intermittent catheter?
▾
A hydrophilic intermittent catheter has a water-activated coating that becomes extremely slippery when hydrated, reducing friction during insertion. This helps minimize urethral trauma and discomfort, making it ideal for frequent or sensitive-use catheterization without needing extra lubricants.
Does the Onli catheter require preparation before use?
▾
No, the Onli Ready To Use Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter comes prehydrated and sterile. It's ready immediately upon opening—no need to add water or lubricant—making it convenient for home, travel, or emergency use without mess or delay.
How does the 8 Fr size compare to other catheters?
▾
An 8 French (Fr) catheter has a diameter of about 2.7 mm, making it one of the smaller sizes available. It's suitable for patients with low urine viscosity or those requiring minimal urethral dilation, often preferred for comfort and reduced trauma.
Is the 508208130 Onli catheter latex-free?
▾
Yes, the 508208130 Onli Ready To Use Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter is latex-free. It is made from polyvinylchloride (PVC) with a thermoplastic gripper, making it safe for individuals with latex allergies or sensitivities.
