Popular GentleCath™ Catheters
Whether you need a female catheter, a male length or unisex catheter, or a pediatric length catheter for children, 180 Medical has it. In addition, you can find a GentleCath in just about every imaginable type of catheter. Their polished, elongated eyelets minimize friction and urethral damage. Also, each catheter’s soft, rounded tip aids in a smoother insertion.
GentleCath Glide™
The most popular GentleCath catheter lately is the GentleCath Glide™. It’s the only hydrophilic catheter with FeelClean Technology™, which is embedded into the catheter itself.
This means once the catheter’s hydrophilic properties are activated with the included water packet, it instantly becomes lubricated. Then it stays smooth while you’re cathing without getting sticky or drying out. Plus, it reduces residual mess and makes cathing fast, clean, and comfortable.
GentleCath Air™
GentleCath Air™ Catheters combine practicality and discreetness in a hydrophilic catheter design that seamlessly fits into your daily life. FeelClean Technology™ ensures a more convenient, smoother, and comfortable cathing experience without worrying about sticking or messiness.
When you’re prepared to cath, activate the accompanying water sachet, and use the sleeve to handle the catheter, reducing the chance of infection through hand contamination.
The GentleCath Air™ Catheter for Men is highly portable, ready to slip into your pocket, bag, or briefcase for easy, private transport. The resealable package design also facilitates effortless, discreet disposal.
Plus, the female GentleCath Air Catheter for Women features a recyclable case.
GentleCath™ Hydrophilic Catheters
Curious about any other hydrophilic catheters from GentleCath? They offer multiple lengths and packaging options in their standard hydrophilic catheter, including GentleCath hydrophilic catheter kits. These can include insertion supplies to reduce contamination and the risk of infection as well as a hydrophilic catheter in the length and insertion tip that best suits your needs.
What Are the Features of GentleCath™ Hydrophilic Catheters?
GentleCath™ hydrophilic coated catheters are designed to minimize the risk of complications and infection while delivering a simple, easy experience.
Also, GentleCath™ hydrophilic catheter supplies feature a unique polymer that reacts with water. This fully lubricates the catheter prior to insertion so you’ll never need additional lubricating jelly.
Because the coating is bonded to the catheter, the water-activated lubricant will not slough off as the catheter enters your urethra. In other words, catheterization with a GentleCath hydrophilic catheter may help make catheterization more comfortable from beginning to end.
Plus, you’ll never have to directly touch the catheter, which may help reduce the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Here are some additional benefits of GentleCath™ Hydrophilic Catheters:
No Touch Handling Strip
This blue strip is on each GentleCath hydrophilic catheter, which makes it easier to handle the catheter during insertion. It also helps facilitate a more sterile, no-touch catheterization.
Sterile Water Sachet
This easy-to-pop water sachet is included. So you’ll never have to search for a separate water source to activate your hydrophilic catheter. This makes cathing more convenient, whether you’re at home or on the go!
Wall Attachment Tab
The package includes a blue circular wall attachment tab. When you pull off the blue circle, it reveals a sticky surface. Next, you can attach the package to the wall while you wait 15 seconds for the water to activate the hydrophilic coating.
Convatec GentleCath™ Intermittent Urinary Catheters
If your insurance doesn’t cover hydrophilic or closed system catheters, you also have top-quality uncoated straight catheter and coudé catheter options from Convatec.
Where to Buy GentleCath™ Catheters Through Insurance
