SpeediCath® intermittent catheters

Discretion… Performance… Quality

SpeediCath catheters offer both men & women:

– The first instantly ready-to-use catheter

– The first compact catheter

– The first all-in-one compact catheter and bag solution

The SpeediCath® catheter family is an innovative range of single-use, hydrophilic-coated catheters for intermittent catheterization. They are packaged in a sterile saline solution making them instantly ready-to- use.

SpeediCath® with Triple Action Coating Technology.

It consists of three strongly bonded elements, designed to protect the urethra in three ways: it stays bonded, stays smooth, and stays hydrated.

The coating plays an important role in protecting the urethra¹

But unfortunately, not all hydrophilic catheter coatings are the same. Some of the common pitfalls can be:

Stays Bonded

SpeediCath’s unique hydrophilic coating stays bonded during insertion and withdrawal due to a proprietary base-coat that is covalently bonded to the catheter surface for an even coating without dry spots.

Stays Smooth

SpeediCath’s unique hydrophilic coating stays smooth because the polymer top-coat enables excellent water absorption for low friction, smooth insertion and reduced discomfort compared to uncoated catheters.

Stays Hydrated

SpeediCath’s unique hydrophilic coating stays hydrated with a special water-based solution that swells the coating and makes it instantly ready to use.
