FeelClean Technology™
An innovative, next generation intermittent catheter technology designed to help enhance your cathing journey.
Protects the urethra due to no sticking*
Designed to reduce discomfort, bleeding and the risk of UTIs*,**
Minimal mess and residue*
UTIs are a big issue for intermittent catheter users3
Antibiotic resistance from repeated use can be a health risk when treating recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs).4
Although intermittent catheters have improved, there can still be issues with UTIs.1
Why does current technology increase the risk of UTIs?
Traditional hydrophilic catheters have coatings that make them slippery on the way in, but they can become sticky when removed.1
This can cause discomfort, bleeding, and damage to your urethra leading to a higher chance of getting UTIs.1,5
Watch this video to learn more about how FeelClean Technology™ works.
GentleCath Glide™ with FeelClean Technology™ provides the solution
GentleCath Glide™ with FeelClean Technology™ is the first and only catheter where the slippery hydrophilic properties are integrated inside the catheter itself rather than having a sticky coating.
Without this coating, FeelClean Technology™ does not stick, so it protects your delicate urethra,1,2 your body's first line of defense against UTIs.***,5
Independently tested against at Queen’s University Belfast.
GentleCath Glide™ with FeelClean Technology™ is designed to improve outcomes and quality of life for intermittent catheter users.2
