The Four Types of GentleCath Intermittent Catheters
GentleCath users feel confident using products designed for safety and ease of use. Each individual has their own unique set of needs when it comes to catheterization, which is why GentleCath offers a variety of product solutions.
The four types of GentleCath Intermittent Catheters are:
1. GentleCath Glide Catheter
The GentleCath Glide Catheter is a less messy option for a fast and convenient catheterization experience. The FeelClean Technology offers a smooth, slippery surface and reduced residue. Also, it features a handling sleeve for a touchless experience, which helps you avoid getting bacteria from your hands on the catheter.
Benefits of Using GentleCath Glide Catheters
- Quick lubrication: GentleCath Glide catheters are ready to use as soon as you break the included water sachet and wet the length of the catheter.
- Low-friction hydrophilic surface: The smooth, slippery surface makes the catheterization insertion experience more comfortable and prevents any tissue trauma.
- FeelClean Technology: The unique FeelClean technology is less messy and reduces the residuals left behind when catheterizing.
- A touchless handling sleeve: GentleCath Glide catheters have a no-touch handling sleeve to help prevent contamination of the catheter with bacteria from the hands.
- Not made with DEHP: DEHP (di(2-Ethylhexyl)phthalate) is a plastic softener that may be linked to cancer and reduced fertility.
2. GentleCath Hydrophilic Catheter
The GentleCath Hydrophilic Catheter allows for a simple catheterization experience from beginning to end. The included sterile water sachet activates the coating, and the handling strip allows you to catheterize without touching the catheter tube itself, reducing the risk of infection.
3. GentleCath Uncoated Catheter
The GentleCath Uncoated Intermittent Catheter makes insertion and removal smooth and easy with its soft rounded tip and polished eyelets to minimize friction. The GentleCath Uncoated Catheter is available with both straight and coudé tips.
4. GentleCath™ Pro Closed-System Catheter
With the GentleCath™ Pro Closed-System Catheter, you can use your catheter wherever and whenever you need it. This all-in-one intermittent catheter minimizes the risk of infection with its touch-free design of a pre-attached collection bag.
