GentleCath™ features straight, tapered tip and polished eyelets for smooth insertion. Standard 16″ male length allows complete bladder emptying. Color-coded white funnel makes 12 Fr size ID quick at a glance.

The 12 Fr size offers an excellent balance for many men performing intermittent self-catheterization—small enough for comfortable insertion yet large enough for efficient drainage. The straight tip design is simpler to use than coudé for patients with normal anatomy, making it ideal for those learning self-catheterization or with uncomplicated urethral passages.
Appropriate for: ✓ Men requiring intermittent self-catheterization with normal urethral anatomy
✓ Neurogenic bladder requiring regular drainage
✓ Urinary retention from various causes
✓ Post-operative bladder management
✓ Patients trained in self-catheterization technique
✓ Situations where straight tip is appropriate (no BPH obstruction)
Important: Straight tip catheters work best for patients without enlarged prostate or urethral strictures. Patients with BPH or difficult anatomy may require coudé (curved) tip instead.
For Self-Catheterization Under Clinical Direction: This catheter is for intermittent self-catheterization as instructed by your healthcare provider. Proper training is essential for safe, effective use.

Very welcoming and informative. We went in to rent a Walker for my mom to see if she would use it. They had no rentals left so he gave us a brand new one on rental. Highly recommend this company for all your ADL needs.

Fantastic service and experience, from delivery to pickup we could not have asked for anything more! We rented a hospital bed, and I do not believe you would get better service anywhere. Highly recommended!
