VaPro Plus Pocket™ is a fully no-touch intermittent catheter system designed for safe, hygienic, and convenient catheterization anytime, anywhere. It features a protective tip and sleeve to help reduce the risk of introducing bacteria into the urinary tract, along with an integrated 1000 mL collection bag—eliminating the need for a toilet or container. The discreet, pocket-sized packaging makes it ideal for travel or out-of-home use, while the easy-open, easy-empty collection bag includes a non-return valve to prevent urine backflow.
Equipped with HydraBalance™ Lubricating Technology, the hydrophilic coating activates to form a smooth, gliding cushion that supports comfortable insertion and withdrawal. Smooth, rounded eyelets enhance comfort, and the no-touch system helps maintain sterility throughout use. Made without natural rubber latex and crafted from phthalate-free PVC, it offers a cleaner, user-friendly option for individuals seeking reliable intermittent catheterization.
