Description

Cure Medical offers a comprehensive range of CURE Catheters, specifically designed for individuals requiring intermittent self-catheterization. These catheters are crafted with precision to ensure safety, comfort, and ease of use across various patient needs, including men, women, and pediatric users.

Material and Safety

Constructed from medical-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC), CURE Catheters are free from DEHP, DINP, BPA, and natural rubber latex. This composition minimizes exposure to potentially harmful chemicals and allergens, making them suitable for users with latex allergies or phthalate concerns.

Design Features

• Eyelets: Each catheter features smooth, fire-polished or cold-punched eyelets to reduce friction, enhancing comfort during insertion and removal.
• Tip Options: Available in both straight and coude tip designs, with coude models featuring a Control Stripe for accurate insertion orientation.
• Funnel End: Ergonomic, color-coded funnel ends provide controlled handling and easy French size identification.

Lubrication and Handling

Select models, such as Cure Ultra® and Cure Hydrophilic, offer pre-lubricated or hydrophilic coatings for smoother insertion. Additional features like no-touch sleeves or gripper sleeves are included in some variants to promote clean handling and reduce infection risk.
