Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter - Sterile Coudé Tip Male Urethral Catheter Pre-Lubricated

Premium Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter for Self-Catheterization

This high-quality hydrophilic intermittent catheter is expertly designed for quick, easy, and comfortable self-catheterization, providing individuals with urinary retention or incomplete bladder emptying a reliable, dignified solution for managing their bladder health. Ideal for those unable to promote natural urine flow or individuals with significant residual urine volume following natural bladder voiding episodes, this advanced catheter combines innovative hydrophilic coating technology with thoughtful design features to deliver superior comfort, safety, and ease of use.

Advanced Hydrophilic Coating Technology

Manufactured from premium clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP), this catheter features a revolutionary pre-lubricated hydrophilic coating that transforms the catheterization experience. The specialized PVP and NaCl coating absorbs and binds water molecules to create a thick, smooth, and exceptionally slippery surface that provides outstanding comfort and ease of insertion without requiring any additional lubricant. This advanced coating technology significantly reduces friction during insertion and withdrawal, minimizing urethral trauma and discomfort while making the self-catheterization process faster, cleaner, and more dignified.

Convenient 30-Second Activation System

Each catheter includes an integrated sterile water packet that conveniently activates the hydrophilic coating in just 30 seconds with no mess and complete sterility maintenance. The innovative activation system allows users to simply fold the unopened catheter pack to burst the internal water packet, which then hydrates the catheter coating automatically inside the sealed package. This brilliant design eliminates the need for external water sources, messy preparation, or compromising sterility, making catheterization possible in any environment—at home, work, while traveling, or in public facilities.

Specialized Coudé Tip Design for Navigating Obstructions

Features a standard coudé tip with a tapered design and short, strong curve specifically engineered for navigating through tight urethral strictures, enlarged prostates, and other anatomical obstructions. This curved tip configuration is especially ideal for male patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or enlarged prostate, as well as female patients who have developed urethral obstructions or strictures. The curved tip allows the catheter to pass through tight spots with ease, reducing insertion difficulty and minimizing trauma to sensitive urethral tissue.

Intelligent Orientation Features

Designed with user-friendly orientation aids including a raised ridge on the funnel end and a blue guide stripe printed along the catheter shaft to help users accurately orient the catheter during insertion, ensuring the curved coudé tip is pointing upward for optimal navigation through the urethra. These tactile and visual guides are particularly valuable for users with limited dexterity, reduced vision, or those new to self-catheterization, providing confidence and reducing insertion errors.

Optimized Eye Design for Superior Performance

Engineered with staggered drainage eyes positioned along the catheter tip to maximize urine flow rate and ensure complete bladder emptying. The polished, smooth eyes minimize urethral trauma during insertion and withdrawal while significantly reducing the risk of introducing bacteria into the bladder—a critical safety feature for preventing catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). The strategic eye placement and polished finish represent thoughtful engineering focused on both performance and patient safety.

Ergonomic Handling Features

The flexible funnel end features a ridged design that provides excellent grip and ease of handling, even with wet hands or limited dexterity. This ergonomic design supports confident catheter control during insertion and removal, reducing the risk of dropping or contaminating the catheter. The funnel design also facilitates easy urine drainage into a toilet or collection container.

Color-Coded Size Identification System

Both the catheter funnel and packaging label are color-coded for instant, easy identification of French size, reducing selection errors and streamlining the catheterization routine. Available in multiple French sizes (10 Fr, 12 Fr, 14 Fr, 16 Fr, 18 Fr) with corresponding color codes (Red, White, Black, Green, Orange) to accommodate individual anatomical needs and physician prescriptions.

Enhanced Sterility-Maintaining Packaging

The innovative packaging design includes a loop cutout for hanging, allowing users to maintain sterility throughout the preparation and insertion process. The enhanced adhesive backing enables convenient use in any environment—users can hang the catheter pack on a wall, mirror, bathroom stall door, or other available surface to keep the catheter sterile and accessible during activation, personal cleansing, and application. This thoughtful design feature is particularly valuable in public restrooms or travel situations where clean surfaces may be limited.

Clinical Indications & Applications

Indicated for intermittent catheterization of the urethra to reach the bladder and allow urine drainage in individuals experiencing:

• Urinary retention or inability to void naturally
• Incomplete bladder emptying with significant residual urine volume
• Neurogenic bladder dysfunction from spinal cord injury or disease
• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) causing urinary obstruction
• Post-surgical urinary retention
• Multiple sclerosis or other neurological conditions affecting bladder function
• Spina bifida or congenital urological conditions
• Urethral strictures or obstructions

Safety & Material Specifications
