What are Hydrophilic Catheters?
Hydrophilic catheters are intermittent catheters with a special coating that becomes smooth and slippery when activated by water. This reduces friction during insertion and removal, helping to protect sensitive tissue and lower the risk of discomfort or irritation.
How Does a Hydrophilic Catheter Work?
The surface of a hydrophilic catheter is coated with a water-loving polymer. When exposed to sterile water or saline, the coating absorbs the liquid and creates a smooth, friction-reducing surface.
- Some hydrophilic catheters come with a water sachet inside the packaging. Simply burst the sachet, let the catheter sit for around 30 seconds, and it’s ready for use. This does depend on brand.
- Others are pre-activated or pre-hydrated and are ready to use immediately without additional steps.
Are Hydrophilic Catheters Covered by Insurance?
It depends on your insurance, although there are many plans that do cover advanced catheter options. We can verify your benefits and determine if you qualify!
