Features and technology
FeelClean™ Technology: Hydrophilic properties are integrated inside the catheter itself rather than having a sticky coating. The catheter does not stick and so reduces the risk of UTIs1,2. Learn more here. (https://www.gentlecath.com/uk/products/feelclean/)
Discreet packaging: Designed to be a part of everyday life, the compact packaging fits easily into your pocket or bag.
Easy disposal: After use, the catheter can be resealed in the packaging thanks to the airtight zip and can be disposed of discreetly.
Quick lubrication: Simply squeeze to burst the pure water3 sachet to activate the integrated FeelClean™ Technology and lubricate the catheter.
Reduced risk of contamination: The protective sleeve is easy to handle and reduces the risk of contamination4 when inserting the catheter.
