ConvaTec GentleCath Male Glide Hydrophilic Urinary Intermittent Catheter With Coude Tip

Male Glide Urinary Catheter Features

• The GentleCath Hydrophilic coated catheter is simple to use without direct hand contact from start to finish.
• It includes a sterile water sachet, wall attachment and no-touch handling strip which allows it to be prepared, used and discarded without the need for direct hand contact with the catheter.
• It is coated with a hydrophilic polymer that reacts with water to create a smooth, slippery coating on the surface of the catheter.
• This helps to reduce the pain, pressure, and discomfort sometimes associated with the cathing process.
• The combination of no-touch functionality and low-friction hydrophilic coating minimizes the risk of infection for catheter users and makes self-catheterization as comfortable as possible.
• Intermittent catheter users are at an increased risk of urinary tract infections caused by bacteria in the urine.
• A user who touches the catheter before insertion can introduce bacteria into the bladder.
• In addition to hand washing and good personal hygiene, no-touch catheterization is proven to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections.
