Are hydrophilic catheters easy to use?

Yes! Hydrophilic catheters are designed to be easier to use than traditional catheters with separate lubrication.

Some hydrophilic catheters are ready to use, while others may need a quick activation with sterile water (usually included in a small packet in the package). This may require a short soaking period from a few seconds to half a minute, depending on brand, to fully activate its hydrophilic lubrication properties.

Once activated, hydrophilic catheters provide a smooth, comfortable, low-friction experience.
