What Are the Different Types of Pediatric Catheters?
At Patient Care Medical, we offer a variety of pediatric catheters in small French sizes and shorter lengths for children. Depending on your child's prescription and what kind of catheters your insurance plan may cover, these are the primary pediatric catheter types you can choose from.
Straight Pediatric Catheters
Straight catheters are considered the original technology. Just a simple tube with no coating that allows you to choose which type of lubricating jelly you prefer, like single-use lubricant packets or flip-top tubes for a fast application. This catheter type can be a cost-effective choice and tends to be the most widely covered among insurance plans.
Hydrophilic Pediatric Catheters
Hydrophilic catheters are a type of catheter that becomes slippery after being activated by water. This technology acts in place of standard separate lubricant and tends to not slough off during insertion or withdrawal, which can make insertion smooth and comfortable. Many hydrophilic catheters for children have a no-touch sleeve or a gripper of some kind so you don't have to directly touch the catheter. This can potentially help reduce the risk of hand contamination and infection.
Pediatric Closed System Catheters
Closed system catheters contain everything you need for sterile catheterization. Typically, it includes a pre-lubricated or hydrophilic catheter that is held inside its own sterile collection bag. This can be great for traveling, for parents who cath their child, and for children in wheelchairs. Closed system catheters can help keep the cathing process sterile, and many include kits of insertion supplies like gloves and antiseptic wipes.
