Rusch 220800080 - FloCath Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter, Straight Tip, 16" Length, 8 Fr (No Saline Sachet Included), BX 30

The Rusch FloCath hydrophilic intermittent catheter offers comfortable, gentle catheterization designed to make bladder drainage easier at home. This sterile, single-use catheter features a special hydrophilic coating that becomes smooth and slippery when activated with water or saline, reducing friction and making insertion and removal more comfortable for those managing bladder care on their own or with the help of a caregiver. The straight tip design provides straightforward insertion, while the high-grade medical PVC material is latex-free, making it a safe choice for individuals with latex sensitivities. This 16-inch catheter is sized at 8 French, suitable for those requiring a smaller diameter catheter as recommended by their healthcare provider. To use the FloCath hydrophilic catheter, simply soak it in water for approximately 30 seconds to activate the coating, which creates a lubricious surface that glides smoothly and helps minimize urethral irritation. Clinical studies suggest that hydrophilic-coated catheters may help reduce urethral trauma compared to uncoated options, offering added reassurance for daily intermittent catheterization routines. Each box contains 30 individually wrapped sterile catheters, providing a month's supply for those cathing once daily or a two-week supply for twice-daily use. Note that this version does not include a saline sachet, so you'll need to prepare water or saline separately for activation. The Rusch FloCath is trusted by many for dependable, comfortable home bladder management.
