FloCath® Hydrophilic Straight Tip Intermittent Catheters by Teleflex are made of a clear, high grade medical PVC which helps to eliminate any concerns of latex allergies. The Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter features smooth, polished Soft-Eye technology and a gently tapered tip for comfortable insertion. The hydrophilic coating reduces friction and tissue irritation that can occur with the use of uncoated catheters. The hydrophilic coating is easily activated by soaking the catheter in water for 30 seconds, avoiding possible contamination when applying lubricant to uncoated catheters. Designed for single use only.
