Description

The ACTREEN HI LITE CATH by B. Braun Medical SAS is an innovative solution for those requiring intermittent urinary catheterization. Designed for single-use, this ready-to-use catheter is tailored for self-catheterization, providing convenience and reliability for both male and female users, including children.

Key Features

• Pre-Lubricated Surface: The catheter comes with a hydrophilic gel or glycerin-based lubrication, eliminating the need for additional water. This lubrication remains effective for over 60 minutes after opening, ensuring smooth and comfortable insertion.

• Versatile Tip Options: Available with Nelaton (straight) and Tiemann (curved) tips, the catheter accommodates various insertion needs, particularly beneficial for those with urethral obstruction.

• Multiple Lengths and Sizes: The catheter is available in different lengths and sizes, including:

• Male: 41 cm length (usable length 37 cm), sizes CH08 to CH18
• Female/Paediatric: 16 cm or 20 cm length, sizes CH06 to CH14
• Integrated urine collection bag sets: 37 cm length, sizes CH10 to CH18

Material and Design

Crafted from TPO (Thermoplastic PolyOlefin), the catheter is PVC-free, DEHP-free, and latex-free, ensuring biocompatibility and chemical resistance. Its design includes non-traumatic, highly polished eyes for smooth insertion and effective bladder emptying.

Safety and Usability

• Universal Connector: Compatible with all urine bags, featuring multiple opening options and an improved no-touch system to reduce infection risk.
• Protective Sheath: Supports the no-touch technique, preventing contamination.
• Discreet Design: Foldable for discretion (except CH18), with a visual marker for correct positioning and color-coded connectors for easy size identification.

Packaging and Environmental Impact

The catheter's packaging is recyclable, lightweight, and eco-friendly, with no aluminum used. Each box includes a pocket-sized discreet pouch (except CH18), which can protect the catheter, keep hands clean, and collect urine. The product's lightweight design (9.7 grams per catheter) generates less waste, contributing to a reduced environmental footprint.

Indications and Ease of Use

Suitable for patients with conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), urethral stricture, or reduced dexterity, the ACTREEN HI LITE CATH is easy to open, handle, and requires no additional training. Its discreet and portable nature makes it ideal for use in both home and clinical settings.

Maintenance

As a single-use device, it should be disposed of after each use. Store in a clean, dry place, with no need for additional lubrication or water.

The ACTREEN HI LITE CATH stands out as a practical and environmentally conscious choice for those in need of reliable urinary catheterization.
