Convatec Gentlecath Glide Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter Male 14Fr 16in Straight 30/Bx

Why Choose the ConvaTec GentleCath Glide?

Intermittent catheterisation is a daily-use procedure — and the tolerance of the user to perform it consistently and correctly has a direct impact on health outcomes. Two of the most common barriers to compliant intermittent catheterisation are friction-related discomfort and contamination risk. The GentleCath Glide addresses both. FeelClean Technology integrates the hydrophilic lubricating properties into the catheter material itself rather than applying a coating on top. This eliminates the stickiness and residue that characterise older coated hydrophilic catheters when the coating dries or transfers — making the GentleCath Glide cleaner to handle, less likely to leave residue on hands and clothing, and more consistently slippery throughout the insertion process. The no-touch handling sleeve allows the catheter to be unrolled and inserted without directly contacting the catheter surface — significantly reducing the contamination risk associated with hand-to-catheter contact. The water sachet activates the hydrophilic properties instantly, requiring no pre-soak or waiting period. The 14 French size and 16-inch male length are standard for adult male intermittent catheterisation. Straight tip. Colour-coded funnel for easy size identification. Sterile single-use. 30 catheters per box.

Benefits

• FeelClean Technology provides consistent, smooth lubrication from insertion to removal without drying or sticky residue
• No-touch sleeve significantly reduces hand-to-catheter contamination during preparation and insertion
• Water sachet eliminates the pre-soak step for faster, simpler catheterisation procedure
• Low friction throughout insertion reduces urethral irritation and discomfort
• Cleaner experience with less residue on hands, clothing, and disposal surfaces
• 30-count box supports prescribed intermittent catheterisation frequency across the full month

Clinical & Typical Applications

Adults with spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or neurogenic bladder performing intermittent self-catheterisation or caregiver-assisted catheterisation as prescribed

Patients with urinary retention from benign prostatic hyperplasia, urological surgery, or other conditions requiring prescribed intermittent catheterisation

Post-surgical bladder management patients requiring intermittent catheterisation during recovery from urological, spinal, or pelvic surgery

Home catheterisation users who perform self-catheterisation multiple times daily and require a clean, low-friction, low-residue catheter for sustained comfortable use

Clinical settings providing intermittent catheterisation where the no-touch sleeve system reduces contamination risk during assisted catheterisation

Individuals transitioning from indwelling to intermittent catheterisation who benefit from the simplified prep and clean handling of the GentleCath Glide system
