Frequently Asked Questions
Does this catheter require separate lubricant?
Yes, being uncoated, this catheter requires a separate lubricant to be applied before insertion, unlike ready-to-use hydrophilic catheters.
What's the difference with the coudé-tip version?
The coudé-tip version (ref. 501015) is designed to ease passage for men whose urethral anatomy presents resistance, for example due to an enlarged prostate.
Is this catheter reusable?
No, this is a sterile, single-use catheter.
