Sterile Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter – Latex-Free, Single Use,
Anti-Reflux Design
The sterile hydrophilic intermittent catheter is a top-tier
solution for individuals requiring intermittent catheterization.
This high-quality catheter offers enhanced comfort, convenience,
and safety, making it the preferred choice for both short-term and
long-term catheter users. Available in two variations — Standard
and Water-Infused (Hydrocoated) types — this catheter is designed
for easy insertion, smooth performance, and reliability.
Key Features:
Sterile Packaging: Each catheter comes pre-sterilized and
individually packaged to ensure a hygienic and safe catheterization
process.
- Latex-Free: Ideal for individuals with latex allergies, this
catheter is made from medical-grade materials that are free from
latex, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions.
- Anti-Reflux Design: The built-in anti-reflux mechanism prevents
urine backflow, reducing the risk of urinary tract infections
(UTIs) and improving user safety.
- Hydrophilic Coating for Smooth Insertion: The catheter’s surface is
coated with a hydrophilic material that hydrates upon contact with
water, creating a slick, smooth surface for easy insertion and
removal.
Types:
1. Standard Type:
The Standard Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter features a simple,
functional design, perfect for individuals looking for an
affordable and reliable catheter solution. It requires
pre-activation with water before use, making it easy to handle
while maintaining sterility.
2. Water-Infused Type (Hydrocoated):
The Hydrocoated variant comes pre-lubricated with a water-soluble
coating, eliminating the need for additional water before use. This
type is convenient for on-the-go users and ensures a frictionless
experience. The water coating activates as soon as the catheter is
removed from its sterile packaging, providing a smooth and
comfortable insertion every time.
Advantages:
Comfort and Ease of Use: The hydrophilic coating creates a smooth,
lubricated surface that minimizes friction during insertion and
withdrawal, making the process more comfortable and less painful.
Reduced Risk of Infections: The anti-reflux design and sterile,
single-use nature of the catheter significantly reduce the risk of
urinary tract infections (UTIs), a common concern with improper
catheterization techniques.
Latex-Free: As latex allergies can cause discomfort or serious
reactions, these catheters provide a safe alternative for those
with sensitive skin or latex sensitivities.
Compact and Discreet: The catheter is lightweight, easy to carry,
and discreet, making it ideal for use at home, work, or while
traveling.
Safety and Hygiene: The pre-sterilized packaging ensures that the
catheter remains free of contaminants until it is ready for use,
ensuring the highest level of safety and hygiene.
