Hollister Vapro F-Style Touch-Free Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter Straight Tip 12 Fr 16in 30/Bx

Why Choose Hollister VaPro F-Style Touch-Free Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter 12 Fr

Every catheter insertion carries infection risk — the question is how much of that risk is controlled by the system. Standard catheters require the user to handle the catheter shaft during insertion, creating direct pathways for bacterial transfer. The VaPro F-Style eliminates this with a 100% touch-free protective sleeve that keeps hands away from the catheter surface throughout insertion, combined with a protective tip that guards the distal end from contamination before use. HydraBalance™ hydrophilic coating activates on contact with moisture to create a consistently lubricated surface — ready to use directly from the package without additional gel or preparation. The F-Style firmer shaft delivers improved grip and control for users who find softer catheters difficult to manage, particularly during self-catheterisation outside the home or in less controlled environments. Soft rounded eyelets minimise urethral irritation across repeated daily insertions, and PVC-free, latex-free construction makes this suitable for latex-sensitive users. 30 catheters per box.

Usage & Care

Open package and activate the hydrophilic coating per product instructions — the HydraBalance™ coating activates with moisture contact. Do not touch the catheter shaft during insertion; use the touch-free sleeve throughout. Insert gently and allow bladder to drain completely before slowly withdrawing. Discard after single use — do not clean or reuse. Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Consult a urologist, continence nurse, or healthcare provider to confirm appropriate French size, length, and catheterisation schedule for your condition.
