GentleCath Glide Intermittent Catheters for Women

GentleCath Intermittent Catheter Overview

GentleCath Glide Catheters for Women helps women drain their bladders of urine. According to the manufacturer, a catheter should be used when one has the "urge to urinate" or when the "bladder contains 10 to 18 fluid ounces of urine." Used by women with a spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and more, the Women's GentleCath Intermittent Catheter has a slick surface for fast catheterization. Additionally, with FeelClean Technology, the catheter leaves behind less residue on the skin or clothing after insertion or removal.

If soap and water aren't available, try Avagard Hand Antiseptic to clean the hands before inserting a catheter.

Glide Makes Cathing Easier

The GentleCath Glide is designed to make cathing easy and convenient for all users, whether they have years of experience or they're brand new to catheter use. The ready-to-use design allows for quick, discreet preparation; simply break the included water sachet inside the packaging and wet the length of the catheter. In addition to convenience, Glide catheters are made to offer a comfortable, mess-free experience. The leading hydrophilic catheter has a coating that not only gets messy and leaves residue behind, but also becomes sticky and less comfortable to remove as it dries. With FeelClean technology, GentleCath Glide is able to lock in hydrophilic properties without a coating, allowing the surface to remain slippery so that less force is required for removal. Without the coating, cathing is also less messy, so users can worry less about residue left behind on the skin or clothes.
