Description

The SpeediCath Male catheter by Coloplast is a specialized medical device designed to assist male users with bladder management through intermittent catheterization. This single-use catheter is crafted to provide ease of use, comfort, and discretion for individuals with neurogenic or non-neurogenic bladder dysfunction.

Key Features

• Hydrophilic Coating: The catheter features a unique hydrophilic coating that is pre-hydrated in a sterile saline solution. This design ensures a smooth, lubricated surface, significantly reducing friction during insertion and withdrawal, thereby minimizing urethral trauma.

• Material Composition: Made from polyurethane, the catheter is free from PVC and phthalates, enhancing safety. The soft, polished eyelets further reduce discomfort and the risk of microtrauma to the urethra.

• Tip Variants: Available with either a Nelaton (straight) or Tiemann (curved) tip, the catheter caters to different anatomical needs, providing flexibility and control during use.

Size and Design Options

• Length and Size: The standard catheter length is 40 cm, with sizes ranging from 6 to 18 French (Fr). The compact version measures 30 cm and is available in sizes 12 to 18 Fr.

• Compact Design: The compact version is discreet and portable, featuring a telescoping design that makes it less than half the size of the standard version, ideal for travel and daily use.

Variants

• Product Variants: Includes SpeediCath Standard Male, SpeediCath Compact Male, and other versions like Flex and Control, which offer features such as a flexible tip, dry sleeve, integrated drainage bag, or no-touch grip.

Hygiene and Handling

• No-Touch Features: Certain variants include a no-touch grip or sleeve, enhancing hygiene by reducing the risk of infection.

• Packaging: Each catheter is individually wrapped in easy-open packaging, with some versions allowing temporary adhesion to a wall for improved hygiene. They are supplied in boxes of 30.

Instructions for Use

1. Preparation: Wash hands and clean the area before use.
2. Insertion: Open the packaging, insert the catheter until urine flows, then remove once the bladder is empty.
3. Disposal: Dispose of the catheter in household waste after use.

Clinical Benefits

• Comfort and Safety: The design reduces the risk of urethral microtrauma and urinary tract infections (UTIs), offering greater comfort compared to traditional catheters.

• Environmental Considerations: Both the catheter and its packaging are recyclable, excluding aluminum components.

Important Notes

• Consultation: Users should consult healthcare professionals before changing catheter size or type.
• Medical Advice: Seek medical advice if experiencing difficulty, pain, bleeding, or signs of infection.

The SpeediCath Male catheter is intended for use under the guidance of healthcare professionals, providing a reliable solution for effective long-term bladder management.
