What makes a catheter hydrophilic?

A hydrophilic coating interacts with water to create a lubricious surface. Preparation depends on the finished product: some catheters arrive ready to use, while others require activation with the supplied solution. “Compact” describes the carrying format; it does not identify a coating or preparation method.

01 / Size & length

Check the prescribed French size (FR/CH) and usable catheter length. Do not substitute a similar-looking model.

02 / Tip & materials

Confirm straight or other tip configuration, the catheter material and relevant product labeling.

03 / Hydration

Identify whether the model is ready to use or requires activation. Follow its supplied instructions.

04 / Handling

Review the opening, grip, protective sleeve and any no-touch handling components.

05 / Sales unit

Distinguish a single catheter from a box or case. Confirm the item reference and count.

06 / Label & storage

Check instructions, expiry, packaging condition, sterile/single-use designations and storage requirements.

Ready to use or activation required?

Preparation varies by product; always use the instructions supplied with the exact model.

PACKAGING & ORDER DETAILS

Check the unit. Confirm the reference.

Before ordering, match the item code to the required size and pack count. A box, case and individual catheter are different sales units.

Use the label and supplied documentation to confirm storage conditions, expiry and packaging requirements.

Common questions

How should I choose size, length and tip?

Use the configuration recommended by your healthcare professional and confirm the exact item reference before ordering.

Are all compact catheters hydrophilic?

No. Compact describes the format. Check the coating and preparation description of the individual model.

Does hydrophilic mean antimicrobial?

No. A hydrophilic description alone does not establish antimicrobial activity or an infection-prevention guarantee.

Can I reuse a catheter labeled single use?

Follow the supplied labeling. A single-use catheter should not be cleaned and reused.

Why do pack quantities differ?

A listing can represent one catheter, a box, a case or a set. Use the selected sales unit and item code when comparing prices.
