Business Select Catheters

Discreet, comfortable catheters can help people handle incontinence and post-procedure recovery. They're generally available in multiple sizes to ensure a comfortable fit that's tailored to the individual. Many products are compatible with leg bags and other ostomy supplies, so they can integrate easily with a comprehensive health care plan.

Achieve Efficient Drainage

Catheters can provide fast, efficient training. Models with kink-resistant nozzles are engineered to prevent urine from flowing backward, so you can reduce the likelihood of accidental disconnection. Other styles use reservoir bulbs to help prevent back flow. You can help reduce the likelihood of leaks with one-piece catheters. Some models use reinforced funnels for extra durability. If you need to connect tubing or a collection bag, try to look for a urinary catheter with multi-function drainage ports.

Long-Lasting Adhesives

Try to keep a catheter in place longer with models that feature durable adhesives. For mobile patients or people who tend to move in their sleep, an external catheter with a wide adhesive band can create a secure hold. Some styles use a forward glue placement to help prevent disconnection. Standard adhesive strips can allow easy application and quick removal for people who require regular catheter changes. Consider looking for waterproof adhesives to help maintain a tight seal, even during high flow rates. For extra security, you can look for catheters that come with integrated foam straps for a firm hold.

Gentle on Skin

Latex-free catheters are specifically designed for people with sensitive skin or allergies. Silicone catheters are smooth and breathable, so they help reduce the chance of irritation and rashes. Non-sensitizing adhesives reduce redness and discomfort, and catheters made with aloe offer gentle soothing. Transparent catheters let you keep an eye on the health of the skin.

Comfortable Fit and Wear

Soft, flexible models can slip on easily and allow a comfortable yet secure hold. Strap-free models can help reduce constriction, and long-lasting models can eliminate the need for frequent changes. Odor-resistant catheters can help reduce unpleasant smells and ensure discretion. An ultra-thin model can help prevent uncomfortable rubbing, especially when the catheter is worn all day.

Multi-Packs

Consider using multi-packs of disposable catheters to keep a convenient stash on hand in your medical supply room. Many products are individually packaged for easy dispensing and cleanup — the airtight packaging can also help prevent contamination and increases the sterility of each procedure. Packs with a color-coded sizing system can make it easy to find the right size at a glance.
