How can SpeediCath Short help you?
SpeediCath Short is a catheter with high quality hydrophilic coating that’s smooth, instantly ready-to-use and reduces your risk of UTIs *. Furthermore, it’s convenient, easy to handle and aims towards balancing the needs of catheter users and the planet through a 35% reduction in CO 2 e emissions** and 55% less waste generated upon disposal †.
Smooth, convenient catheterisation
SpeediCath Short features Triple Action Coating Technology™, which is a
coating that makes sure catheters are smooth and instantly ready to
use. It is a coating you can rely on for smooth catheterisation to protect
your urinary tract1 and reduce your risk of contracting a UTI compared to
uncoated catheters.
Hygienic insertion with reduced discomfort
There are many factors that can increase the risk of UTIs1,2,3.
Speedicath Short is designed for hygienic, no-touch insertion as the
short length of the catheter makes it possible to catheterise without
touching the coated section of the catheter.
Protects your urinary tract
Catheters with un polished eyelets can cause discomfort. But SpeediCath Short has polished, coated eyelets to protect your urinary tract†† and
reduce your discomfort‡.
Shorter§, discreet and easy to bring along
SpeediCath Short is designed to fit into your everyday life. It is short, but
long enough – approximately double the length of the female urethra,
convenient, short and more discreet compared to SpeediCath Standard.
