Coloplast Catheters for Added Comfort
A urinary catheter is a tube that is inserted in the bladder or the urethra to allow urine to drain from the bladder. There are several types of catheters that might be used, depending on your particular condition and preference. One of the most common problems associated with catheterization is the risk of infection. With proper care and the use of proper products, like the ones from Coloplast, it’s much easier to avoid infection and improve comfort when living with a catheter. Whether you are catheterizing yourself, or you have a caretaker, there are many products that can make it much safer and more comfortable.
One of the most popular Coloplast products when self-cathing is the Self-Cath Intermittent Catheter. This is a soft tip catheter that is latex-free and easy to use. The fact that it’s soft makes it more comfortable, yet it is sturdy enough to keep you dry. Since independence is important anytime you have to deal with health problems, the ability to self-cath can be crucial to one’s self-confidence when living with a catheter. This product makes it safe and easy to self-cath, and helps to prevent infection as well as leakage that might occur. (more…)
