IQ-Cath 43 Male Hydrophilic Catheter with Protection Sleeve 40 cm – Box of 30

🔷 Product Overview

The Manfred Sauer IQ-Cath 43 Male Ready-to-Use Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter with Protection Sleeve is designed to provide a convenient, smooth, and hygienic solution for intermittent catheterization.

Each catheter is pre-activated and immersed in 0.9% saline, allowing it to be used immediately without adding water or waiting for the hydrophilic coating to activate. When hydrated, the specialized coating creates an ultra-smooth, low-friction surface designed to reduce friction during insertion and withdrawal.

An integrated non-touch protection sleeve allows the catheter to be handled with reduced direct contact with the catheter surface, while colour-coded funnels make French sizes easier to identify.

The male catheter has an effective length of 40 cm and is supplied in a box of 30.

🔷 Ready to Use Immediately

Unlike hydrophilic catheters that require water to be added before use, the IQ-Cath 43 Ready-to-Use catheter is supplied immersed in 0.9% saline.

The hydrophilic coating is already activated, allowing the catheter to be removed from its packaging and prepared for use without a separate activation step.

This can make catheterization more convenient at home or while away from home.

────────────────────

🔷 Hydrophilic Coating

Hydrophilic catheters feature a specialized surface coating that becomes smooth and slippery when hydrated.

The IQ-Cath's pre-activated surface is designed to:

• Provide smooth insertion and withdrawal

• Reduce friction against the urethra

• Support comfortable intermittent catheterization

• Provide consistent lubrication without applying separate lubricating gel to activate the coating

This low-friction design can be particularly useful for individuals performing intermittent catheterization regularly.

────────────────────

🔷 Non-Touch Protection Sleeve

An integrated protection sleeve allows the catheter to be guided and handled while minimizing direct contact with the catheter surface.

This non-touch design supports hygienic catheter handling during preparation and insertion.

────────────────────

🔷 Colour-Coded Funnels

Each size features a colour-coded funnel for quick identification:

14 Fr / 4.7 mm – Green

18 Fr / 6.0 mm – Red

This makes it easier to distinguish catheter sizes at a glance.
