Description

The TIEMANN CATH MALE GENTLECATH GLIDE CATHETER by ConvaTec Limited is a specialized medical device designed for effective and comfortable intermittent urinary catheterization in males. This catheter is particularly beneficial for those facing anatomical challenges such as an enlarged prostate or urethral stricture, thanks to its Tiemann (coude) tip. The curved, olive-shaped tip is engineered to navigate the male urethra with ease, minimizing discomfort and enhancing accessibility.

Key Features

• Hydrophilic Technology: The catheter incorporates FeelClean™ Technology, embedding hydrophilic properties directly into the material. This results in a smooth, slippery surface that significantly reduces friction and discomfort during insertion and withdrawal.

• No-Touch Handling Sleeve: An integrated sleeve allows for insertion without direct hand contact, thereby reducing the risk of bacterial contamination. This feature promotes hygiene and safety, crucial for preventing urinary tract infections.

• Ready-to-Use Design: The catheter is conveniently ready to use, with quick lubrication activated by breaking a sterile water sachet within the packaging. This eliminates the need for additional preparation time, offering immediate readiness.

• Single Use and Sterility: Each catheter is intended for one-time use and is sterilized using ethylene oxide. It is DEHP-free and latex-free, constructed from a polyolefin-based elastomer (POBE), ensuring compatibility with a wide range of users.

Additional Features

• Adhesive Tab and Visual Marker: The packaging includes an adhesive tab for convenient attachment during use, and a visual marker on the connector ensures correct orientation during insertion.

• Non-Traumatic Drainage Eyes: Designed to facilitate effective bladder emptying while minimizing urethral trauma.

• Discreet Packaging: The catheter comes in discreet, portable packaging that is foldable and easy to open, enhancing privacy and convenience.
