Description

The GentleCath™ Glide Intermittent Catheter by ConvaTec Limited is expertly designed for those requiring routine, transient bladder drainage through intermittent self-catheterization. This sterile, single-use catheter is suitable for both men and women, offering a seamless and hygienic experience.

Innovative Hydrophilic Technology

At the core of its design is the advanced hydrophilic technology, featuring FeelClean™ Technology. Unlike traditional surface coatings, this technology is embedded throughout the catheter material, creating a smooth, low-friction surface. This ensures comfortable insertion and removal, significantly reducing discomfort, bleeding, and the risk of urethral trauma and urinary tract infections (UTIs).

No-Touch Handling

The catheter includes a no-touch handling sleeve, a thoughtful feature that helps prevent contamination from hands, thereby minimizing the risk of introducing bacteria. This design element enhances the overall safety and cleanliness of the catheterization process.

Ready-to-Use Convenience

Each catheter comes with a sterile water sachet, allowing for quick and mess-free lubrication. With no waiting or activation time required, the catheter is ready to use immediately after activating the sachet. The FeelClean™ Technology ensures minimal mess and residue, making the process cleaner and more comfortable.

Practical Features

Some packaging variants include a sticky pad, enabling users to attach the pack to a wall for hands-free insertion, adding to the convenience and ease of use.

Versatile Options

The GentleCath™ Glide is available in various sizes and tip variants, including male straight tip, male Tiemann tip, and female straight tip. Lengths and French gauge sizes are designed to meet diverse needs, with materials crafted from polyolefin-based elastomer (POBE) and low-density polyethylene.

Safety and Biocompatibility

The catheter is not made with DEHP, latex, or PVP, ensuring compatibility for a wide range of users. It is sterilized using ethylene oxide and E-beam methods, adhering to high safety standards.

Certifications

Certified with a CE mark and classified as Class I sterile (EU), the GentleCath™ Glide meets ISO 13485 standards, reflecting its commitment to quality and reliability.

Designed for Comfort and Discretion

This catheter is ideal for users with limited dexterity or visual impairments, offering ease of use, comfort, and discretion. By reducing the risk of urethral trauma and UTIs, it provides peace of mind and enhances the quality of life for its users.
