Frequently Asked Questions
Does this catheter require separate lubricant?
Yes, being uncoated, this catheter requires separate lubricant before insertion, unlike ready-to-use hydrophilic catheters.
What is the difference with the coudé-tip version?
The coudé-tip version is designed to ease passage for men whose urethral anatomy presents resistance, for example due to prostate enlargement.
