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

Why Choose Hollister VaPro F-Style Touch-Free Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter 12 Fr 16in

The risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is directly tied to handling — every point of contact between hands and the catheter shaft is a potential contamination pathway. The VaPro F-Style removes this risk mechanically: a 100% touch-free protective sleeve keeps the catheter surface unexposed from package to insertion, and a protective tip guards the distal end until the moment of use. HydraBalance™ hydrophilic coating activates with moisture to deliver consistent smooth lubrication ready from the package — no gel, no preparation, no additional materials. The F-Style firmer shaft improves tactile control and directional guidance during insertion, making it the preferred choice for users who find standard softer catheters difficult to manage — particularly during self-catheterisation in public, at work, or while travelling. Smooth rounded eyelets minimise urethral irritation during repeated daily use. 30 catheters per box, reference 71124-30.

Usage & Care

Open package and activate the HydraBalance™ coating per product instructions prior to insertion. Use the touch-free sleeve throughout — do not touch the catheter shaft directly. Insert gently and allow complete bladder drainage before slow withdrawal. 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.
