GentleCath™ Catheter Options
GentleCath™ offers smooth, polished eyelets, rounded tips, and color-coded funnels on every catheter. They develop and design catheters with quality, comfort, and discretion in mind.
GentleCath Glide™
The GentleCath Glide™ hydrophilic catheter is Convatec’s first catheter made with FeelClean Technology™. This hydrophilic technology does not use PVP to coat the catheter, unlike other hydrophilic catheters on the market. Instead, FeelClean Technology™ is embedded in the catheter itself, activating instantly with water to fully lubricate it.
It’s designed to provide a cleaner, smoother catheterization.
GentleCath Air™
GentleCath Air™ Catheters combine practicality and privacy in a hydrophilic catheter design that seamlessly fits into your daily life. FeelClean Technology™ helps provide a more convenient, smoother, and comfortable cathing experience.
When you’re prepared to cath, activate the accompanying water sachet and use the sleeve to handle the catheter, reducing the risk of contamination from your hands.
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 compact, recyclable case.
GentleCath™ Uncoated Intermittent Catheters
GentleCath™ also offers high-quality uncoated intermittent catheters in male and female lengths, with options for straight or tapered coudé insertion tips. The French size range comes in sizes small enough for children and teens who need to cath, too.
GentleCath™ Hydrophilic Catheters
GentleCath™ hydrophilic catheters feature a unique hydrophilic polymer that reacts with water. This fully lubricates the catheter before insertion, so you don’t need to apply additional catheter lubricant.
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, using a GentleCath hydrophilic catheter may make catheterization more comfortable from start to finish.
Here are some additional benefits of GentleCath™ Hydrophilic Catheters:
No Touch Handling Strip
This blue strip is on each GentleCath hydrophilic catheter, making it easier to handle 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, attach the package to the wall and wait 15 seconds for the water to activate the hydrophilic coating.
