Hydrophilic Catheters
Premium Hydrophilic Catheters for Safe Intermittent Catheterization
Hydrophilic catheters represent the gold standard in intermittent catheterization, featuring an advanced pre-lubricated coating that activates instantly with water or saline. These professional-grade urinary catheters provide superior comfort and reduced friction during insertion and removal, minimizing urethral trauma while ensuring safe, hygienic bladder management for patients requiring regular catheterization.
Clinical Benefits of Hydrophilic Coated Catheters
- Reduced Urethral Trauma: Smooth hydrophilic coating minimizes friction and tissue irritation during catheterization procedures
- Lower Infection Risk: Pre-lubricated surface reduces bacterial introduction and urethral microtrauma that can lead to UTIs
- Enhanced Patient Comfort: Self-lubricating technology eliminates need for separate lubricant application, ensuring consistent glide
- Ready-to-Use Convenience: Sterile, single-use design with integrated activation system for immediate use
- Improved Compliance: Comfortable insertion encourages adherence to prescribed catheterization schedules
