GentleCath™ Catheter Female PVC Intermittent 14Fr 16" 100/bx

Why Choose GentleCath Female PVC Intermittent Catheter 14Fr 16" 100/Bx

Intermittent catheterisation is the preferred long-term bladder management strategy over indwelling catheterisation for many patients with neurogenic bladder and urinary retention — it preserves bladder cycling, reduces CAUTI risk, and supports better long-term renal and bladder health outcomes when performed consistently on a scheduled basis. The GentleCath Female PVC catheter provides the standard straight catheter format for female intermittent catheterisation: the shorter female urethra requires a female-length catheter rather than a full male-length format, and the straight tip configuration is appropriate for most female catheterisation where no urethral or bladder neck anatomical obstacle requires a specialised tip. 14Fr is within the standard catheter calibre range for female intermittent catheterisation — appropriate for most adult female users where smaller calibre provides adequate drainage flow with minimal urethral trauma. The 100 per box format provides a one-month or longer supply for users performing 2–4 daily catheterisations — the standard intermittent catheterisation frequency — and supports clinic and home-care programme supply efficiency. Confirm sterility, lubrication status (unlubricated, pre-lubricated, or hydrophilic), and tip/eyelet details by exact SKU before dispensing. Use under healthcare provider direction.

Usage & Care

Intermittent catheterisation must be performed under healthcare provider direction following the prescribed technique — clean intermittent catheterisation (CIC) or sterile technique depending on the care plan. Wash hands thoroughly before procedure. Lubricate the catheter adequately before insertion — use appropriate lubricant if the catheter is not pre-lubricated. Insert the catheter using the technique taught by the healthcare provider. Drain the bladder fully. Remove gently and dispose of the single-use catheter — do not reuse. Follow the prescribed catheterisation schedule. Consult a healthcare provider if burning, haematuria, fever, or unusual symptoms occur.
