Key Benefits
SpeediCath has a unique, hydrophilic coating.
Advanced hydrophilic paint consists of three components:
1) Base coating: The base coating ensures that the coating remains uniform
It is evenly distributed during insertion and removal and prevents the top layer from rubbing.
2) Top coating: Uniform top coating provides the optimum level of water absorption, making the surface very smooth and reducing friction.
3) Brine: SpeediCath is contained in a saline solution, ensuring that the paint is always optimally moistened and immediately ready for use.
SpeediCath also has polished perforations to create smooth edges between the eyelet and the surface of the catheter, and is designed to reduce friction and the risk of urethral trauma. Through a process specially developed for SpeediCath, the edge of each puncture is sanded to create a smooth and perfect transition between it and the catheter surface, to address comfort when catheter insertion and withdrawal.
SpeediCath is convenient and easy to use. The hydrophilic coating and polished perforations provide easy and convenient catheterization.
SpeedCath is also free of PVC and phthalates, which limits environmental impact.
The SpeediCath was the first immediate catheter-ready device to be on the market in nearly 15 years. Standards for autologous catheters have since been established. The unique, patented hydrophilic coating ensures that the catheter is ready to use right out of the package without adding water or lubrication.
The coating also covers the polished holes, ensuring a smooth surface for the catheter which reduces the risk of damage to the urethra.
The hydrophilic sleeve and brushed coated perforations are found on all Speedicath catheters.
