What is FeelClean™ Technology in GentleCath Catheters?
The unique FeelClean™ Technology integrated into the GentleCath Air™ male catheter and other GentleCath catheters sets it apart from traditional catheters. This technology embeds hydrophilic properties within the catheter material, offering a smoother, faster, and cleaner catheterization process.
PVP-Free
Unlike other brands of hydrophilic catheters, GentleCath catheters made with FeelClean technology are not made with a glue substance called PVP. PVP can cause stickiness and residue when it dries out.
No Sticking
Because of its unique design, the GentleCath Air™ may take less force to remove because it doesn’t stick. The design integrates water-loving hydrophilic properties to provide a smooth, slick catheterization from start to finish.
Minimal Mess and Residue
This male hydrophilic catheter may help reduce the mess and residue associated with typical hydrophilic coated catheters, so you don’t have to worry about leftover mess on your clothes, hands, or body after catheterizing with the GentleCath Air™ Catheter.
How to Use the GentleCath Air™ Catheter
Convatec designed this catheter to be an easy, convenient, and discreet option. It’s simple to use whether you’re on the go or hanging out at home. Here’s a quick step-by-step guide to using the new GentleCath Air™ Catheter.
1. First, wash your hands thoroughly to help reduce the risk of contamination.
2. Pull back your foreskin (if applicable) and clean the urethral opening with soap and water or an antiseptic wipe.
3. Activate the GentleCath Air™ catheter while it’s still inside the package by pressing the bright blue dot to break the sterile water sachet. You can also simply fold the package along the dotted line.
4. Let the water run over the length of the catheter and let it activate. You’ll want to use the catheter in the next 1 to 2 minutes after activation of the catheter’s hydrophilic properties.
5. Find the seal at the top of the package and tear it above the seal. You can remove the catheter using the blue strip so you don’t touch the catheter tube directly.
6. Hold the end of your penis and pull gently to help straighten the urethra and prepare for catheter insertion. Then, pointing your penis slightly upwards, hold the sleeve of the catheter while slowly inserting the tip into the urethra. Direct the funnel end toward a receptacle such as a urinal or toilet.
7. Once urine stops flowing, remove the catheter slowly. You can then fold the catheter into a circular shape and twist it into a figure eight so it can fit back into the package for easy, discreet disposal later.
