Frequently asked questions
Why choose an 18 cm catheter rather than a standard catheter?
The 18 cm length is specifically adapted to female anatomy. Since the female urethra is shorter than the male urethra, this reduced length makes handling easier and makes intermittent catheterisation more practical and comfortable.
How do I choose the right French gauge for my urinary catheter?
The choice of French gauge depends on the diameter of the urethra and the recommendations of your healthcare professional. The most commonly used gauges in women are CH 12 and CH 14. A diameter that is too small may slow drainage, while a diameter that is too large may cause discomfort.
Can the catheter be reused after first use?
No, this catheter is designed for single use only. Individual sterile packaging guarantees asepsis during each catheterisation. Reuse would significantly increase the risk of urinary tract infection.
