Product Description

The full length of the catheter has a hydrophilic coating. When the coating is activated in water, the result is a very smooth and viscous surface throughout the entire length of the catheter. The hydrophilic coating significantly decreases friction in the dog’s urethra – providing obvious benefits to canine patients. This helps to decrease patient discomfort and to prevent iatrogenic damage to the urethra.Hydrophilic coated catheters provide additional benefits such as less microscopic haematuria and decreased incidence of iatrogenic UTI (urinary tract infection).
