Rounded tip (patented): The tip of the IQ-Cath consists of a soft, rounded head that sits on top of a highly bendable “neck”. This combination allows the catheter to pass bottlenecks and bulges of the urethra nearly without resistance. Flexible zone (patented): The tip is followed by an approximately 5cm-long area that is flexible. It enhances the ability of the catheter to follow the run of the urethra without pressure. Guiding zone: This part of the IQ-Cath, which continues down to the funnel, is made of a stiffer material thus making insertion easier. Smooth eyelets: The catheter eyelets are rounded on the inside and the outside to rule out any injuries to the sensitive tissue of the urethra mucosa. Funnel: The IQ-Cath is furnished with a soft, easy-grip funnel that connects to all common urine collection bags. The funnel is colour-coded in accordance with the size (FR). Packaging: The IQ-Cath comes in a single sterile packaging, optionally also furnished with an additional wrapping for safer transport. Choice: The IQ-Cath is available as a hydrophilic version (blue) for use with saline solution or as a gel version (green) for use with a lubricating gel – both are also available as ready for use catheters, respectively with urine collection bag.
