GentleCath Hydrophilic Urinary Catheter is designed for a simple experience from start to finish, with an in-pack sterile water sachet to activate the coating and wall attachment for storage during hand washing and preparation. The handling strip means you can cath without touching the catheter, helping to avoid bacteria from your hands getting on your catheter.

Features

• Length: 8.3 Inch.
• This no-touch catheterization is designed to help minimize the risk of infection.
• GentleCath Hydrophilic catheters feature an o-touch handling strip which allows the user to catheterize without touching the catheter.

How to use GentleCath Hydrophilic Catheters:

Wash hands then break the sterile water sachet by using one of the illustrated methods:

• By folding and squeezing (making sure not to fold over more than half the length of the water sachet to avoid water going the wrong way).
• By placing your finger on the water sachet approximately half way down. Then use your thumb to fold the sachet around your index finger and squeeze.
• Then let the water run down into the package.

You can stick the package on to any dry surface using the self adhesive tape on the package.

Make sure the catheter is soaked in water for at least 15 seconds. Open the package by peeling the tabs on the connector side.

No-touch catherization can be performed by using the Blue Handling Strip. If needed, Blue Handling Strip can be removed before or during catheterization.
