Manfred Sauer IQ Cath Hydrophilic Catheter with Bag and Saline Sachet

Description

The IQ-CATH Hydrophilic Catheter Bag with Saline Sachet from Manfred Sauer GmbH is a sterile, single-use intermittent urinary catheter designed for bladder emptying. This ready-to-use version combines a hydrophilic catheter, an integrated 0.9% saline sachet, and an attached urine collection bag in one system, supporting catheterisation when access to a toilet or separate drainage container may be limited.

The validated product information most strongly supports the male 40 cm variant. The catheter has an effective length of 40 cm and is fitted with a 1 litre urine collection bag. Likely size options for this saline version include FR/CH 12, 14, 16, and 18.

Design features

The catheter is made from PVC, with line-level sources describing the material as medical-grade, latex-free, and DEHP-free. The attached urine collection bag is made from PE. A hydrophilic low-friction coating is used to support smoother insertion and withdrawal.

Additional design details include:

• Soft rounded tip or head
• Smooth rounded and polished eyelets
• A highly bendable neck or flexible zone
• A stiffer guiding zone for handling support

These features are intended to assist comfortable use and controlled placement during intermittent catheterisation.

Packaging and handling

Each catheter is individually packed and sterile, with products typically supplied in boxes of 30. The product should only be used if the packaging is intact and undamaged. It is intended for single use only and should not be reused or re-sterilised. For storage, keep the product in a cool, dry place.

Intended use

This product is intended for intermittent catheterisation to empty the bladder. The integrated saline sachet prepares the hydrophilic surface for use, while the attached collection bag provides a practical drainage option within the same sterile system.
