Convatec - Gentlecath Hydrophilic - 508992 - Convatec Gentlecath Hydrophilic Urinary Catheter, Female, With Water Sachet, Straight, 16fr, 8.3"

     ConvaTec GentleCath Hydrophilic Urinary Catheter is specifically designed for female use, providing a smooth and comfortable insertion experience. With a straight shape and a diameter of 16Fr, this catheter is suitable for most female users and measures 8.3 inches in length.

One of the key features of this catheter is the hydrophilic coating, which is activated by the included sterile water sachet. This coating reduces friction during insertion, making the process more comfortable and less likely to cause irritation or trauma to the urethra. The polished and rounded eyelets further contribute to the smoothness of insertion, ensuring a gentle and safe process.

Additionally, the GentleCath Hydrophilic Urinary Catheter is latex-free and DEHP-free, making it safe for individuals with latex allergies or sensitivities. The handling strip allows for touchless catheterization, reducing the risk of introducing bacteria from the hands to the catheter.

For best results, it is recommended to activate the hydrophilic coating with the sterile water sachet, and to use the wall attachment for storage during hand washing and preparation. This urinary catheter is designed to provide a simple and comfortable experience for female users, promoting hygiene and reducing the risk of urinary tract infections.
