  • Catheter contamination prevention - Feature: a no-touch handling sleeve. GentleCath Glide catheters have a no-touch handling sleeve to help prevent contamination of the catheter with bacteria from the hands.1,2
  • Speed and discretion - Feature: quick lubrication. GentleCath Glide catheters are ready to use with no unnecessary delay. You can start cathing as soon as you break the water sachet and wet the length of the catheter so it can be used quickly and discretely. 
  • Made without the use of DEHP*

Only GentleCath™ is powered by FeelClean™ Technology

Designed for a faster, cleaner and more comfortable cathing experience. 

Traditional coated hydrophilic catheters are dipped into a coating which is then left to "cure" ensuring the hydrophilic coating adheres to the outside surface of the catheter. With FeelClean™ Technology, GentleCath™ catheters have hydrophilic properties integrated within the catheter itself so you can enjoy no sticking and minimal mess.*
